This was my Grandpa Eddies all time favorite film. It's no wonder that my dad would list this in his top ten. The film itself was a reunion of some of the John Ford stars and was also to be the second to last film with Wayne & O'Hara together. This movie also began a new goal of Wayne's. Each film after this had a message to it, whether political or family oriented. The message in this film was both. Even the shady Governor was named after the liberal senator Herbert H. Humphrey.
This has been a classic in our family for generations and is still enjoyable to watch. My wife and I enjoy the cameo of Jerry Van Dyke as Matt Douglas Jr. This is truly a great film to watch.
