Boy, I expected a lot more from this than it delivered. I had read where it was "spectacularly filmed." Well, it was pretty, but far less than "spectacular."
I read where it was a "rousing adventure." Well, it was so-so in the adventure department.
It was supposed to have "nothing offensive," according to reviewers Porter & Martin, but it had two usages of the Lord's name in vain (both by Kirk Douglas) and a half-dozen other profanities. Mainlike critics such as them really are clueless. This is just one example of many I have discovered along these lines.
Tom Burlinson is a likable Ethan Hawk-"White Fang"-type of hero in here. His female counterpart, Sigrid Thornton, is the opposite: she spends most of the movie pouting because she doesn't always get what she wants. She just becomes too irritating after awhile and helps spoil the story.
Some of the wild horse scenes are very nice and have good sound, too. I wish there were more them. Less language and less pouting from Thorton would have made this the nice film it was advertised to be, and wasn't.
