    Storyline

    A group of unlikely traveling companions find themselves on the same stagecoach to Cheyenne. They include a drunken doctor, a bar girl who's been thrown out of town, a professional gambler, a traveling liquor salesman, a banker who has decided to embezzle money, a gunslinger out for revenge and a young woman going to join her army captain husband. All have secrets but when they are set upon by an Indian war party and then a family of outlaws, they find they must all work together if they are to stay alive. —garykmcd

    • Trivia
      The artist Norman Rockwell, famous for his Saturday Evening Post covers, appears as a "townsman" in a brief scene. He also designed the movie's poster, and the character images shown over the end credits.
    • Goofs
      After the perilous night-time ride down the muddy mountain during the rainstorm (and for that matter all throughout the movie), everyone's clothes was perfectly clean and pressed, as if they'd just stepped out of Wardrobe.
    • Quotes

      Hatfield: Put out that cigar! You're annoying the lady.

      Doc Josiah Boone: Oh, I'm sorry Ma'am I'm so fond of the weed myself I sometimes forget it's unpleasant to others. Excuse me.

      Hatfield: If you're a gentleman you'd know better to never smoke in the presence of a lady.

      Doc Josiah Boone: You know last week I took a bullet out of a fellow who had been shot by a gentleman. The bullet was in the back.

      Hatfield: Are you insinuating?

    Not the original, but eminently watchable
    The thing to remember about remakes prior to the advent of home video is the originals were mostly only available cut for time and the square TV screen. Black and White films were mostly relegated to late nights. This is why it was easier to remake films in the past as most didn't have something to compare them to.

    As to this film. It's a mostly competent western and the cast performs their roles admirably. Van Heflin and Slim Pickens give their usual solid performances. Bob Cummings is notably unlikable as the roll requires. They even make the choice to tie his storyline to the Ringo/Plummer story which is a good choice. Bing Crosby is excellent as Doc Boone. Powers, Buttons, and Connors are adequate but all are capable of better. At least with Powers, the role is supposed to be bland to contrast with Ann Margaret's Dallas. Margaret is also pretty good.

    Alex Cord does his best, but is miscast. People tend to underestimate John Wayne's acting and it's sometimes justified in that he did tend to play the same character more or less. However the original film is where he fully formed that character for the first time and his screen presence is undeniable. There's a reason it was not only his breakout role, but a breakout for Westerns in general. The genre shaped Hollywood for decades to come. Cord just couldn't live up to that and wasn't suited to the role. He's got the nice guy part of the role down and his scenes with Margaret are probably the best. He just doesn't have the tough guy part down.
