I watched this with my family one evening a while back.
This is a decent John Wayne movie. It builds strong characters, a team of outlaws who are nearly the tamest you'll ever see. They stumble across a pregnant woman stranded in the desert and must then cope with protecting her orphaned child from the elements. John Wayne is really cool. He's done a lot of westerns, and this is one of the few I've seen. He is an effective actor, with emotion and character you'd expect from one of the film veterans. And, though I'm not a huge western fan, this movie was satisfactory. It doesn't all have to be about shootouts, or pistols at dawn. Sometimes a decent western just has to be set in the old West, and that's all you need.
I recommend this to the Wayne fans out there, as well as those looking for a sweet, wholesome old-fashioned flick.
