The film has a typically energetic score by Elmer Bernstein and some beautiful location photography.
This was Dean Martin's second film with John Wayne. If you enjoy it then you must pick up Rio Bravo (his first) which is an all time classic and influenced so many films in later years, most notably John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13. | I love Rio Bravo!
