Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe pistol Ben (Gary Grimes) shows off to Tim (Charles Martin Smith) at the beginning of the movie and later kills his first man with during the saloon shootout, is a model 1858 Remington Army.
- GoofsImmediately after starting the drive, the cook needs to spit, and does so across Ben, who is sitting beside him. The cook then tells Ben that he better "Sit down wind." This is wrong, because Ben should sit Up Wind. You never spit Into-The-Wind, you always spit With-The-Wind or Down Wind. The line should have been, "You better NOT sit down wind."
- Quotes
Cook, Culpepper Outfit: You really got the itch, ain't ya?
Ben Mockridge: Well, yeah, I do. I guess all I want to do is punch cows and ride and, well, just cowboying. There's nothing better than that. That's all I want.
Cook, Culpepper Outfit: Kid, cowboying is something you do when you can't do nothing else.

Featured review
"The only thing I like about this job is going into town, and getting out of town"
Others have summarized this film quite well. I would only add that it's unique in being the only good film I can readily remember that consists of nothing but supporting players. Not a star among 'em. Billy Bush Green, Geoffrey Lewis, Luke Askew, Bo Hopkins and many others are indelibly played, e.g., the stuttering barkeep who keeps a "genuine former virgin" in the back room; the Mexican cantina owner who keeps a rattlesnake in a jar and wins money from customers by betting they can't hold their hand against the glass when the snake strikes; the preacher who declares of the land his followers stop at as the "place God has chosen for us" until the shooting starts and he decides to move because "God was only testing us."
Gene Autry and Smiley Burnette it ain't. Catch it if you can.
