The wild west's biggest fall guys go head over heels... for a mean-eyed bronc... and some bear-backed fillies

ComedyWestern

Ben (Glenn Ford) and Marion (Henry Fonda) are two cowboys who make a meager living breaking wild horses. Their frequent employer Jim (Chill Wills), who always gets the better of them, talks them into taking a nondescript horse in lieu of some of their wages. Ben finds that the horse is un-rideable, he comes up with the idea of taking it to a rodeo and betting other cowhands they cannot ride it.

VIBE

A dusty, lived-in Western that feels as worn as its characters' boots. It's a stoic, often melancholic look at men bound to the land and their own stubborn pride, finding fleeting moments of camaraderie amidst hardship.
