Overview
Headstrong Thomas Dunson starts a thriving Texas cattle ranch with the help of his faithful trail hand, Groot, and his protégé, Matthew Garth, an orphan Dunson took under his wing when Matt was a boy. In need of money following the Civil War, Dunson and Matt lead a cattle drive to Missouri, where they will get a better price than locally, but the crotchety older man and his willful young partner begin to butt heads on the exhausting journey.

Viewing Notes
Wayne and Clift make a great team in this deconstruction of Western cowboy masculinity, subverting Wayne’s typical persona. There are two versions in this set, the theatrical version and a pre-theatrical version. I watched the former since it’s said to be Hawks’ preferred version of the film.
