Jack spent the next few days assessing the situation, walking the parched earth, and talking to the few remaining hands who had stuck with the ranch through thick and thin. He knew that something drastic needed to be done to save the ranch, or risk losing it forever.
Reviewers from Retrospect Journal note the film’s "sweeping grandeur" and its ability to make the audience feel the "dust and exhaustion" of the drive.
Regarded by Hawks as the superior, tighter cut.
