Almost in spite of itself, The Cowboys has taken its place among John Wayne's most beloved films. A Hollywood liberal who initially felt at odds with Wayne's right-wing politics, Mark Rydell (On Golden Pond) originally sought George C. Scott for the lead, but studio executives urged him to convince Wayne to take the role.

One of John Wayne's Best Movies
This movie highlights what was best about the old west, and John Wayne is the penultimate cowboy in it. He gathers together a group of cowboys to help him take a herd of cattle to market. And cowBOYS they are, too. When he can't locate any men to work with him, he goes to the local school house and offers the boys there the adventure of their lives. Of course, they show up on the appointed day, and from there on out those boys become men. Of the 11 boys selected for the film, 6 of them were actually boys from working ranches, so they knew what going on a trail ride entailed. The other 5 boys were actors selected by the casting company. The boys who were actors taught the boys who had ranching skills how to act, and the boys who had ranching skills taught the young actors how to ride, rope, and wrestle a steer to the ground. Bruce Dern portrays a Civil War vet who needs a job and resents that John Wayne has chosen boys instead of men. As a result, he and his group of ruffians proceed to harass the group, making things very difficult for them all. In the end, though, good triumphs--and the boys get the cattle to the railhead. But I won't tell you how or what happens to them and their leader because that would spoil the climax of the film, one that was both tense and tragic. This film is worth every penny you'll pay for it--and I have no doubt you'll watch it many times.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Saddle Up!
This really shows John Wayne in one of his best features. When he's left alone to drive a herd across some rough country, he finds himself cornered and hires on some schoolboys. What ensues brings some humor, along with some sadness along the way. A whimsical romp across the prairie where young boys become men and avenge the brutality of some rustlers. I tried not to give anything away, and if you haven't seen this classic yet, now is the time. A beautifully shot film, made of all, young and old alike. If you are a fan, you will really enjoy this, if you have yet to realize who John Wayne was, this would be a fine introduction. Most highly recommendedVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

The-Coming-of-Age Movie You Want To Watch Over and Over Again!
This film is kind of like the "coming of age" to any young man out there. We've seen it several times before and will watch it again if given the chance. One night it was shown in one of our local TV channels but with so many commercials in between, we decided to have our own copy. We were pleasantly surprised to find several black and white photos of the casts. We weren't expecting that. Make sure you watch the "cowboys reunion" feature. It gave me a renewed respect for the actor John Wayne and the "young cowboys."
