Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Maureen O'Hara adored Jimmy Stewart, but Jimmy was not "perfect." She said "Jimmy - bless his heart - pulled another ... well, Jimmy. Jimmy was never one to happily share a scene. One day on the shoot, Maureen poured everything she had into the scene they were doing and knew, Maureen had stolen it from Jimmy. We broke, and between takes, Jimmy went to his dressing room while my new makeup man, Whitey Snyder, within a few minutes, the assistant director came to the set and announced that they were wrapping for the day. Mr. Stewart had suddenly come down with a mysterious illness and was unable to return to the set.They showed up for work the next day to finish shooting the scene, new pages of script were handed out. The scene had been completely rewritten overnight and was now impossible for Maureen to steal" Maureen was more amused then mad; there was no friction or anything. more

This western has much going for it: great stars (Jimmy Stewart, Maureen O'Hara, and Brian Keith), interesting plot twists (is Stewart's character a thief, after all), and some comedic moments (Brian Keith is a hoot as Scottish cattle baron). Take the movie as it is, an old western that is mediocre in script with star power holding it afloat, and you'll enjoy the movie. Start picking it apart for studio shots, etc and of course you'll not enjoy it. The storyline of how Herefords came to replace Texas Longhorns sounds plausible enough. It was cute how Juliet Mills (sister of Hayley) got that Hereford bull to follow her by whistling "God Save the Queen". Juliet added quite a bit to the movie, and she was a good balance to the humorous triangle of Keith, O'Hara, and Stewart. Some reviews are harsh, yet the questions remains--How could anyone not enjoy a movie with Jimmy Stewart in it?
