This is one of the dozen best John Wayne films there are. It is part of a viewing marathon that I do not plan to end until I have seen at least 18 movies - my 100th birthday celebration.
He plays a Texas cattle Baron who has to drive his herd 1000 miles to Missouri because beef is not selling in Texas after the war because there is no money. They make the first drive up the Chisolm Trail.
This film has an outstanding cast to support Wayne. Young Montgomery Clift as his partner, Walter Brennan for comic relief, and Joanne Dru as the woman that settles the feud.
One of the funniest parts is the dance between the two young colts, Montgomery Clift and John Ireland as they feel each other out to see who is top dog.
It is just a great film that no one should miss.
