Title: One of the Last Great Westerns
Review: This is a surprising and unusual John Wayne film. His next-to-last film; his final film being "The Shootist." It's also interesting hearing a soaring musical score by a pre-"Star Wars" John Williams. What I'd like to point out is that this 1998 DVD release of the film (violet cover with the title smack in the middle - should be avoided. DO NOT buy this version! The image quality is atrocious. The film looks dirty, blurry, and drab in a way that is not what the filmmakers had in mind. The Deluxe Edition from 2007The Cowboys (Deluxe Edition)is much better looking and, of course, the Blu-ray versionThe Cowboys [Blu-ray] beats them all. A very good film but not THIS particular version. This film needs a good remastering. Thankfully, it got one!
