I watch this every time it's on cable & never tire of seeing it! The scenery is just beautiful & the acting is superb! You'll love to hate Rod Steiger's "Pinky" character becuz he's so connivingly loathsome. Borgnine is at his 'happy-go-lucky' best. Ford is his honest-to-goodness handsome self. And Charles Bronson is Ford's faithful friend. Ford's love interest plays a Mormon, a natural beauty with a cute little turned-up nose but I don't see her in the credits. Am I missing something? Because she has a very important role in this film! (She also played opposite Richard Widmark in a western but I forgot the name of it.)
