Viewing Notes

I’ve seen portions of this movie so many times it felt like I’d seen the whole thing, but I’d never caught the beginning and some key scenes in the first half, including some of the Angie Dickenson stuff. Great cast but Walter Brennan is tops as old Stumpy!

I adore this film… probably my favorite of Hawks and one my favorite westerns.
