First the Disclaimer: I grew up horseback in SoDak and the Nebraska Panhandle. I saw this movie when it was first released, at the Orpheum Theatre in Aberdeen. When the folks drove us kids to Scottsbluff to visit the kinfolk we always stopped for pie in Pierre at a cafe that had displays of Casey Tibb's stuff.
That being said, I think it is a classic period piece.
The color and quality are not the best, but that adds to the character. I reckon some people might think the narrative and obviously spliced in wildlife shots are pretty corny, in a "Wild Kingdom" sort of a way. And Henry Fonda mispronounces "Ft. Perre," just like everyone else.
But if you are into the Great Plains, good horses, and getting Western, this is a good one.
There are a number of Really Good shots of lots of horses moving through belly deep grass under a limtless sky.
And when was the last time you saw somebody swim his horse across the Missouri River?
