I am watching this movie again for the I can't even keep track of how many times, though it has been a few years. It still holds up. Outstanding cast, Peck, Heston, Simmons, Ives, Connors, all give outstanding and memorable performances. Perfect score, perfect pace, which is very hard to do in a three hour movie.
If you really look back at the Western genre they made a LOT of very bad to mediocre movies, some good ones, and a very few great ones. This is easily one of the greats, and my favorite Western, in my mind the only serious rival is Unforgiven.
There are certainly worse ways to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon.
