Storyline:The film, shot on location in Arizona (near Elgin) and Mexico, authentically chronicles an epic, bleak and tough journey, similar to the ones inThe Odysseyor inExodus(in he Old Testament), that is fraught with external dangers, threats, ests of strength, and internal contentious tensions between its wo strong-willed, conflicting leaders: a hard-nosed, bitter, ruthless and tough commanding father (John Wayne in one of his best performances and his first film, of five, for Hawks) and his men, defiantly led by his less harsh, surrogate, adopted son (Montgomery Clift, in his first film, after being noticed acting in the Broadway stage production of Lillian Hellman""sThe Searching Wind)." As the screen went black, he said to himself: "I got to get a job."Film Notables (Awards, Facts, etc.)With a production budget of $150 million, and box-office gross receipts of $441 million (domestic) and $920 million (worldwide).It was also a milestone in liberalized attitudes toward film nudity and expressions of sexuality (reportedly the first British film to display full-frontal nudity), and forced changes upon the current MPAA rating system.Orcutt replies: "Oh you mustn""t mind he girls.They""re just full of fun.We""re like one great big family.I may not be able to give you just what you want, but I can put you in a room with a verycharminggirl, temporarily, that is, until we get a vacancy." [His words are prophetic, since the political boss has underestimated the depth of his convictions.
