John Wayne has brawled bare-knuckled gunned down desperadoes fought jungle wars and piloted the skies. But 'The Cowboys' gives him one of his juiciest roles as a leather-tough rancher who deserted by his regular help hires eleven greenhorn schoolboys for a cattle drive across 400 treacherous miles. When the dust settles Wayne gives one of his best performances. In The Cowboys Rex Reed wrote All the forces that have made him a dominant personality as well as a major screen presence seem to combine. Old Dusty Britches can act.
