“Arguably Hawks’ greatest film. Beautifully acted, wonderfully observed and scripted with enormous wit and generosity.” -Geoff Andrew, Time Out Film Guide, 13th Edition
On one side is an army of gunmen dead-set on springing a murderous cohort from jail. On the other is Sheriff John T. Chance (John Wayne) and two deputies: a recovering drunkard (Dean Martin) and a crippled codger (Walter Brennan). Also in their ragtag ranks are a trigger-happy youth (Ricky Nelson) and a woman with a past (Angie Dickinson)–and her eye on Chance. Director Howard Hawks captures the legendary West with a steller cast in peak form.
