John Wayne in Mark Rydell's 'The Cowboys' 1972

The week before last we featured a trailer for John Wayne in The Shootist. Today, we feature Wayne once again in Mark Rydell’s The Cowboys from January, 1972.

I saw this one as a kid and really related to the story of a bunch of young’uns coming of age while on a dangerous cattle run. Bruce Dern was pretty damn frightening as the villain, “Long Hair,” too. Watch the trailer below.
