starring Kirk Douglas
Gena Rowlands , Walter Matthau
Cowboy Jack Burns is an individualist at war with the jet age. Now the fences and highways have made his kind of life almost impossible, the lone cowboy makes a last defiant bid for freedom.
This intelligent, thought-provoking film, contains two outstanding performances - Kirk Douglas as Jack Burns and Walter Matthau as the Sheriff who becomes the reluctant agent of progress in bringing Burns to heel.
