Why is this my favorite western of all time because its timeless. It still holds up. A real gritty cowboy movie. Not fancy fair of the west but a cowboy who works to eat getting up in years. He is a fair man who if he can will help another human being out. Look at what movies try to be a Will Penny we have had Lonesome Dove, Open Range, and Broken Trail all very good but not close to Will Penny. Will Penny was a man who let you ride him but would use a frying pan to lay you out not pull a peacemaker. Will Penny's honesty and dignity of the portrayal of the American Cowboy is unsurpassed. This has compassion, humor, drama, action, and suspense. It reflects this best when his friends come looking for him to have a bet paid and save the day. Watching this film you can smell the body order of the cowboys. The hardship of the frontier were portrayed accurately. A must see movie experience.
