Cowboy
Det er høy temperatur og knyttnevene flyr i Cowboy, en actionspekket "sagebrush"-klassiker basert på de virkelige erfaringene til en ung gutt som ble kvegmann. Glenn Ford spiller hovedrollen som Tom Reece, en herdet villmarksmann som nettopp har ankommet Chicago etter flere måneder ute på slettene. Når han taper alle pengene sine i poker, tar han motvillig imot et lån på $ 3 800 fra hotellresepsjonisten Frank Harris (Oscarvinner Jack Lemmon) i bytte mot en liten del av hans kvegdrift. Frank, som drømmer om å være cowboy, er håpløst forelsket i Maria Vidal (Anna Kashfi), den veldreide datteren til en velstående meksikansk rancheier. Selv om faren forbyr de to elskerne å treffes, krever Frank sin del av kvegdriften til Tom og tvinger ham til å ta ham med på kvegflytting til Marias hjemby, Guadalupe. Der opplever de to mennene mer spenning enn de kan takle i dette stjernespekkede eventyret fylt av temperament og farlig lidenskap.

Called "an impressive and important film" by Variety, They Came To Cordura was hailed by critics as "the most disturbing war picture since The Bridge on the River Kwai." A timeless story of courage and cowardice set against the backdrop of the 1916 war against Pancho Villa. The film stars Gary Cooper as Thomas Thorn, a career Army officer given the humiliating task of leading five Medal of Honor candidates to the military base of Cordura, Texas. Branded a coward during the battle, Thorn hopes to learn what these men, each of whom performed heroically under fire, possess which he lacks. But as the grueling journey through the desert progresses, the "heroes" panic, attempting murder, mutiny and rape as the quest for survival reveals their true characters. Rita Hayworth, in a dramatic departure from her glamour-girl roles, co-stars as the seventh member of the group, an American expatriate accused of aiding the Mexicans. At first contemptuous of Thorn, she gradually comes to appreciate his quiet integrity as he leads his mutinous charges through a desperate, action-packed odyssey. Filled with both exciting battle scenes and finely-tuned drama, their treacherous trek to the town of Cordura (which is also the Spanish word for courage) is a rugged and riveting tale of bravery far more enduring than the fleeting heroics of battle.
