a cowboy decides to quit drifting, and is tested., 7 September 1998
7/10
Author: Wrangler from Coconut Creek, FL

According to author Tony Thomas, this film shot adrenaline into the careers of both John Wayne and Johnny Mack Brown. It's pretty entertaining, with a good story, fine cast, terrific scenery and excellent camerawork.
