This is absolutely one of the best of the best.John Wayne plays Wil Anderson, a rancher forced to use young boys to get his herd to market when his men desert him in search of gold.There are many wonderful messages inthis film about duty, honor, and responsibility.They are messages ournation and our young people are in great need of right now.This moviecontains many memorable and haunting scenes, but none more so then whenWayne is forced into a confrontation with Bruce Dern to protect the youngboys he has on the cattle drive. He gives his life, and teaches them themeaning of strength, honor, and courage.I could not disagree more withLeonard Maltin's review - the message is not to seek violent revenge; theboys simply "finish the job" they were hired to do and take themoney from the sale of the herd back to Wil Anderson's wife.This filmcaptures the greatness of Wayne's legacy, and why he is so adored bymillions of Americans who hold duty and courage dear.If I had torecommend only one John Wayne film to someone who had never seen one, thiswould be it.Truly unforgettable!Click Here to see more reviews about: The Cowboys (Deluxe Edition) (1972)
