The Rare Breed
Dir: Andrew McLaglen
1966
***
I quite like The Rare Breed as it is an odd but successful combination of shared British and American mannerisms. On one side you have the naive arrogance and charmingly full-hardy attitude of the British elite and the brash stubbornness and blind faith of the old West, neither was ever very good at being told what could and couldn't be done and so they got on and did what ever it is they wanted, regardless. They succeeded too. Also, I really like Maureen O'Hara's sass, Brian Keith over-acting, James Stewart's voice and furry Cows. The overlooked alternative western.
