This is probably the best of the movies Wayne made before his death.The John Wayne philosophy is more than evident here;drink,atheist,pride,loyalty to his race but human enough to accept others,hard living and brave.His own man. The story is gullible but entertaining with a very good script and fine acting by all the actors especially the boys.Bruce Dern is chilling as the villain.The outdoor shooting is superb and the music lends to it.I have seen many of Wayne's movies and though his political leanings are evident there is something about his presence that appeals to common sense and being a MAN.
