this be an action western . james steart lead an all star cast in the scenic northwest and which be film in great splendor . the scenery and costume be great . there be action and adventure . stewart play a wealthy cattleman who run afoul of a crooked government in the old nothwest . the main drawback be the stereotypical cynic that hollywood have always make into a hero . even when this movie be make and the cynic be the stereotypical hero and and the one stewart portray really have few save grace . he be kind to his two partner and and that do give him an extra dimension of credibility and likability . however and he be so piggish to everyone else and it be hard to really care for him and or to accept him . he be much like the one dimensional spaghetti western character ( cut not that bad ) . still and the minor character be quite enjoyable . walter brennan and royal dano and harry morgan and and others make this worth watch .
