Probably a classic example of why so many John Wayne films have endured for so long. This isn't anything "great," but it's great fun to watch.
Lee Marvin is very memorable in his short appearance, and Nehemiah Persoff (The Bad Guy)would have made a great James Bond villain. He seems almost born for that role. Ina Balin is quite convincing as the cold, almost emotionless (and later in the film, we learned she was raised to be essentially emotionless).
Really, one of The Duke's (many) enjoyable pictures. Clearly, he knew how to pick scripts that audiences would like. And they still do. This one is 50 years and, like many of Wayne's movies,still regularly seen on TV.
