C'mon the Cowboys
I'm 41 now and bought the DVD last week. Plot sees Wayne as tough cattleman Wil Andersen, who after finding all his cowhands have fled to find their fortune elsewhere, is forced to use a bunch of green teenagers to get his beef to market. Bruce Dern is one of the screen's best villians and he does a good job in this one. Was this review helpful? The 2020 NFL Draft is in the books, and wow, do the Dallas Cowboys have … 5 out of 6 found this helpful. "On Golden Pond" director Mark Rydell's cattle drive opera "The Cowboys" is as offbeat an oater as you'll ever see. Before they set off on the long drive, the boys are given lessons in bronco busting, roping, branding and herding.
Was this review helpful? Actually, Rydell and two-time Oscar-nominated scenarists Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank Jr have fashioned a western that is politically incorrect as you imagine. Now Dewhurst looks a lot younger and the girls look like junior high girls...anyway, this was one of only a handful of movies to ever truly touch me and I'm glad to own it. Was this review helpful? This movie, for all that it's a fairly straight forward, shoot-em-up western, has some unique points that make it extremely artful. THE COWBOYS is easily one of Wayne's best later movies, abetted by strong performances by Brown and A. Martinez and Robert Carradine as two of the young cowboys. The scribes borrow from other films. 9 out of 10 found this helpful. 38 out of 45 found this helpful. This movie portrays an aging cattleman working with young boys to drive his cattle herd to market. Wayne stars an upright cattle rancher , Wil Andersen ; when his cattle drivers abandon him for the gold fields , he is forced to hire 11 school boys (Sean Kelly , Clay O'Brien , A. Martínez , Robert Carradine film debut , among others) whose ages ranging from 9 to 17 to help him drive his cattle 400 miles to market . Wil Anderson (John Wayne), a 60 year old cattle rancher is ready to herd his stock to Belle Fouche, but "gold fever" has struck the able-bodied men in his community, so Anderson is left with three choices: Herd the cattle alone; fore-go until next year and leave himself and his wife pauperized; or whip 11 boys from ages 9 through 15 into ridin', ropin' and ranchin' cattle-hands to get his livestock to market.

It's a journey of some distinction, for Wil, the boys and the villains who lurk on the edges of the frame. I read that before they filmed this scene the director told Dern that people all over the world were going to hate his guts. Was this review helpful?
I was truly depressed for a few days after seeing John Wayne get killed.
Colleen Dewhurst has a cameo as a madam. Was this review helpful? This is the work of a man who understands the role the score has in accomplishing the story.
Surtees' cinematography is breathtaking, Mark Rydell doesn't miss a beat and keeps it moving at a perfect pace. With Wil Andersen and ranch-hand Mr. Nightlinger as father figures , as they wet-nursing an entire crew of sub-teenagers on a cattle drive , as the boys learn to become men through hard work , discipline and the usual Western battles with robbers . You get everything with this film. John Wayne plays the role of rancher Wil Anderson, Rosco Lee Browne plays the role of the chuck wagon cook and Bruce Dern plays the role as the ex con Asa Watts. Was this review helpful? It's a film about boys reaching manhood and the man who leads them. I give this movie 8 weasel stars based on he he cattle drive alone. **Possible Spoilers** (Come on, it's over 40 years old, what are you waiting for?) Was this review helpful? It's late in life for John Wayne and he knows it. One of the most endearing performances by the tough old man that is John Wayne. I saw it at the theater with my family. 26 out of 31 found this helpful. 10 out of 14 found this helpful.
