Gordon Douglas (Rio Conchos, Them!) directs an all-star cast in this handsome remake of the 1939 Western classic about a motley group of travelers – alcoholic doctor, brassy dance-hall girl, mysterious gambling man, meek whiskey drummer, pregnant cavalry wife, absconding banker and the glamorously antiheroic Ringo Kid among them – on the road to Cheyenne, struggling with bands of marauding Sioux, a gang of outlaws and the turmoil of their own personal dramas. Shot by the great William H. Clothier (Cheyenne Autumn, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance), and featuring a gorgeous Americana-flavored score by Jerry Goldsmith (available here as an isolated track).
