Goofs
The Texas flag is upside down in the room of Nash Crawford (Walter Brennan) at about 14:00 minutes. The correct orientation is for the white bar to be on top with the Lone Star pointing upward.

It's fun. You see lots of familiar Western faces..

There aren't any surprises, but it's great to have Brennan, Wills, Andy Devine, Buchanon, etc go around the track one more time. Familiar character actors-Bert Mustin, R. Karnes and Harry Swogart(played a bartender on Big Valley, Bonanza, etc 48 times) just add to the nostalgia. Ditto Jack Elam too. Odd to see Rick Nelson in such a bland role, though.

**1/2 outta ****, for the nostalgia.
