The Rare Breed (1966) Rated NR

An English woman and her daughter enlist a cowboy to help get their bull to mate with their longhorns. Starring James Stewart, Maureen O’Hara, and Brian Keith.

This is different than the usual westerns. However, the film has the quintessential western themes; Stewart plays a middle-aged cowboy who agrees to two different deals. It’s an offbeat western, but the story isn’t very satisfying. The characters are hard – too hard to really care about them and their problems. Although, both Stewart and O’Hara are still a joy to watch. Then you have the wonderful cinematography of the land with the beautiful music from John Williams. It’s a film that has potential but really lacks in pulling the audience in. This film is not worth the watch.
