Prioriteit:
Who would have guessed that such a classically conceived western would simultaneously contain such a strong anti-war message and so much humor? The excellent James Stewart (this time supported by Brzobohatý's dubbing), unforgettable scenes with the train and the cow, and a monologue over the graves that takes your breath away and brings tears to your eyes. No, this isn't some cheap pro-American flick that has grown stale over the years. No way. ()
