Bud Elder: I don't want to be rich and respectable. I want to be just like the rest of you
This film should be seen by every family of boys. From the positions held of the numbered siblings to the boyhood brawls, it captures the life of brothers growing up, better than any other I've seen. I, myself, was the last of my family and I felt much like Bud in this film. I still do to this day. Putting aside the relationships of the characters, the cast is a power keg of talent. Martin & Wayne were in a few films together and this one if my favorite of theirs. As a western it has one of the best shoot outs ever written. My two favorite side actors are John Doucette & George Kennedy.
