i do not think i really have any spoiler in here but since i do describe a couple of funny scene and i will check the box say amight contain spoiler just to be on the safe side . now . i hardly know where to start . by now you know the basic outline of the story horse trader travis ( ben johnson ) and sandy ( harry carey jr. ) take the job of guide a mormon wagon train west to their promise land and along the way encounter a variety of trial and interesting character and most notably the outlaw clegg family . anyone can enjoy this movie . you do not have to be a fan of western to like this one . for one thing and johnson and carey be two of the most quickly likable character you will see in any movie . carey in particular be animate and outgo and almost like a big kid while johnson be a little calmer and wiser and kind of like an old brother figure . i get a kick out of the scene where they sell the sheriff one of their gentle horse for ten dollar while then inform him that the horse have some peculiarity you might say failing . travis elbow sandy who let loose with a shrill whistle and send the sheriff new horse off on a wild bucking fit with him in the saddle . the look on his face a the horse finally dump him and gallop away be priceless . pay attention to the music . even if you never think you would be a fan of the son of the pioneer and listen to shadow in the dust a the wagon train be show in motion with some of the people walk along between the wagon . it a truly beautiful song too bad only half a minute or so of it be in the movie . i want to hear the whole thing sometime . one thing that impress me greatly about this movie be that much of it must have be almost as hard to make a the real situation it portray . team of six horse pull wagon up steep mountain trail and strain to make the top this be no simple and easy film . it must have be risky for the actor and the stunt people and the animal as well . ford river too and this movie have plenty of authentic look action involve the movement of the wagon train . it should be mention that both harry carey jr. and ben johnson be extremely competent rider and both with many year experience rid and rope and and do all manner of cowboy type thing . carey grow up on a ranch where his family employ many navaho indian and in fact he learn to speak navaho before he learn to speak english . no rhinestone cowboys in this movie travis and sandy be the real thing through and through . watch for the scene when miss denver throw out the pan of water from her wagon and hit travis horse in the face . the horse start buck and eventually throw him off it . watch the look on sandy face when denver tell travis i be sorry you fell off your horse . another favorite scene of mine be when harry carey jr. ( sandy ) get into a bit of a tiff with one of the mormon . theyre work back to back get their gear ready and and after sandy get disgust with the other fellow and the two of them get into a rear end bump match that quickly turn into a roll around on the ground fist fight . even after the elder ( ward bond ) stand them up and separate them and the two combatant continue try to get at each other . the mormon ( name jackson in the film ) get one final kick in at sandy so high it hit his shoulder . it a really funny scene from start to finish . i do not know what else i can say about this movie other than that it have a good story and very engaging character and beautiful scenery and plenty of action balance with humor and a bit of drama . oh and it have be colorize and at least in the version i saw while not the most beautiful color film you will ever see but i think i prefer it to black and white . i give this one a ten and i do not give out many 10 . one of my favorite movie and without a doubt . and and judging by the other comment and i have plenty of company in that assessment .
