Andrew V. McLaglen directs the Western drama The Rare Breed, based on the real-life introduction of English Hereford cattle to the American West in the 1880s. Maureen O'Hara plays Martha Price, an widowed Englishwoman who convinces rancher Alexander Bowen (Brian Keith) to use her new cattle breed. James Stewart stars as ranch hand Sam Burnett, a rambler who agrees to take the rare bull to Texas in order to breed it with the longhorns. He also accepts a bribe along the way from the lawless Taylor

Unconvincing studio sets and uninspired direction don't help in lifting this above other bloated, awkward studio productions of the period.
Banal and lifeless.
Colorful but soft-edged Stewart western about cattle breedin'.
Average western with Brian Keith giving a ridiculously over the top performance in what must be the worst red wig ever seen in a movie. Otherwise the stars turn in their usual professional jobs but there is nothing out of the ordinary here.

O'Hara was great. Stewart was Stewart (which is great). Keith looked funny in a read beard which looked so fake. Still, a fun movie.
