With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for romantics and western fans. Made for a blanket and a quiet evening. Same wavelength as The Magnificent Seven.

- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Never drags, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1964: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
14-year-old Kurt Russell plays Jamie, an orphaned boy heading westward with a wagon train. Charles Bronson is a wagon scout Linc Murdock, who runs into difficulties when he meets old flame Maria, who is now married to corrupt lawman Rance Macklin. The jealous Macklin has Murdock arrested, but Maria frees him, permitting Murdock and Jamie to embark on a new adventure involving a "lost" gold mine.
