Hopefully there was no bad blood between the Mills sisters, because although Juliet was in a few movies, she wasn't nearly as famous as her sister Hayley. If you want to see the lesser sister in a cute western, check out The Rare Breed. She plays Maureen O'Hara's daughter, and stubbornness runs in the family. They've traveled from England to Texas to sell and breed a particular (and unusual) bovine. The male has no horns; others laugh, but they're determined to bring the breed to the United States and populate the acres of Texas. Since they're two women in the 1800s, they need some protection. Rugged cowboy James Stewart acts as their chaperone, and while some sparks fly between him and Maureen, they also argue all the time. He's very opinionated and refuses to budge no matter how much it means to her.
Enter Brian Keith. Let's take away the cuteness factor that he and Maureen are reunited after The Parent Trap with the other Mills sister, and just focus on his character. He plays a Scottish widower who's gruff on the outside but an incredible softie on the inside. He's bearded, bagpiped, and in serious need of a bath - and he takes one! He shaves his beard, puts on his uniform from his old regiment, and hosts and old-fashioned English tea for Maureen and Juliet. He treats her like a lady and agrees to anything she asks - which makes for hardly an interesting love triangle. She'll pick him right away, right? Not necessarily. . .
Parts of this movie are very entertaining, especially the funny scenes with Brian Keith. You'll also get to hear a pretty western theme by Johnny Williams. But there is one section that just breaks your heart, and I wouldn't really recommend it for animal lovers. Juliet has a particularly close relationship with her bull, and something bad happens. I won't spoil the ending and tell you if it's fatal, but I had a hard time watching the scene.
