A load of bull?

The Rare Breed (1966)

Directed by Andrew V. Mclaglen this film stars James Steward, Maureen O'Hara, Juliet Mills, Brian Keith and Don Galloway. A cowboy helps two English women transport a rare bull to Texas.

The plot of this film works pretty well at using the breeding of both cattle and people to explore what is needed to survive in the harsh environments of Texas ranching. There is some humour which helps the story along and generally this is a pretty well told story. Thanks to the good cast and experienced director this is a fun watch that might not be John Ford but has more than a hint of one of his westerns about it.


4/5
