It starts at 7 P.M. and this is on a Sunday. This is a great western with John Wayne in his oscar winning role (well deserved). Kim Darby stars as Mattie and she is great also. The scenes between her and Wayne are outstanding. Glenn Campbell is the Texas Ranger and he is ok in the part even though not great. The movie is in beautiful color. It also has a great supporting cast with future big star Robert Duvall as Ned Pepper, Dennis Hopper as Moon, Jeremy Slate as Emmett, and Strother Martin who is hilarious as Colonel Stonehill, and Jeff Corey as Tom Chaney.
Of interesting note is Hank Worden who was in many of John Wayne's (and other) movies as a character actor is briefly in the movie as an undertaker.
Also Jay Silverheels who was Tonto in the Long Ranger tv series with Clayton Moore is a condemened man at hanging which takes place early in the movie.
Don't mess this one if you have never seen it. Enjoy!
