The Cowboys
Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers, 1972. Vintage press photograph of producer-director Mark Rydell on the set of the 1972 film.
Based on the novel by William Dale Jennings, a television spinoff would later follow the film as well. Noted director Rydell purchased the rights to Jennings' novel prior to its publication, and it would remain Jennings' only film adaptation. Regarded as one of Wayne's most engaging late Westerns, in which his character must hire and train 11 boys under the age of 13 to accompany him on a cattle drive, the film also stirred up mild controversy among critics for its suggestion that adulthood should be achieved by way of violence and revenge.
Set in South Dakota, but filmed on location in various locations in New Mexico and Colorado.
7.5 x 9.5 inches. Near Fine.
