There are really only two things to speak of with this: Tommy Tedesco's lovely guitar solo of Jerry Goldsmith's theme and Jack Elam is perfectly cast as the cantankerous whisky-swilling "Mr Phillips". Otherwise, it's just a routine outing for John Wayne (and Howard Hawks) who pretty much bears the weight of the film. Jorge Rivero; Jennifer O'Neill and Christopher Mitchum make up the numbers. The story is fun - a Yankee colonel meets up after the Civil war with two former Confederate officers to track down a man who had been selling secrets during the war and we have a few, predictable, adventures en route to an explosive climax.
