I had accidentally seen this movie at about the same time of the day--very early morning getting ready to run all day errands and dreading it.
I owned horses for many years and know when a man is riding and when he is just filling the saddle. McCrea used to RIDE and in a few scenes here he did it again.
My dad's entire male family broke horses for a living. Ironically that the money they earned made enough money for my dad to have the first student owned car at his high school in Nebraska.
He knew things about horses in his late seventies that it makes me wonder just how much he knew in his prime.
This movie takes me back to those days. Simplicity and horse people. Beauty, slow speed and with a simple plot it can't hurt to watch it.
When I saw how everyone in the movie had aged I thought about how good I look now look at age 62. Then I saw the year this film was made. 1976! I graduated High School and was in college at that time!!!.
I included the parts about myself because that is what this film brought up. IF you are a horse person--you will enjoy it. IF you are looking for the typical Western--you will be disappointed. This film brings back memories of Mcrae's skill as a movie star. He was still good. Pat Wayne and the Ken Doll-- Fuller were there taking up film. Sorry-- was never too fond of their work. WJ
