Product Description
From Amazon.com
A very offbeat subject gives this Western its beefy flavor: English lady Maureen O'Hara brings a prize Hereford bull to the Wild West, where she plans to introduce its hardy bloodline into longhorn country. Cattle puncher James Stewart finds the idea suspect, but he likes this redhead, so he manages to tag along through stampede, gunfight, and blizzard. Director Andrew V. McLaglen generally steers a pleasing course, although the movie occasionally stumbles between brawling comedy and western drama. One stunt sequence, a run of longhorns through a desert canyon, qualifies as a hair-raiser. Brian Keith, wearing a gigantic red beard, does a Scots accent as a cattle baron, and veteran cowhands Ben Johnson and Jack Elam are around to lend atmosphere. The big bull's name is Vindicator, and he obeys whenever Juliet Mills whistles "God Save the Queen"--did we mention this is a very offbeat subject for a Western? --Robert Horton

When I purchased this dvd ,it came first of all in a broken case ,,whichI have sent 3 or 4 emails and made 3 or 4 calls regarding this.They all say they have sent me 4 jewel cases as this was not the only one I got damaged .This began in March with no dvds received yet. As for the dvd it was not in the widescreen format which was dissappointing as the others all were .I sent this dvd back to you on November 8 ,I was told I would get a refund as you dont do replacements within 3 weeks nothing yet.That was 7 weeks ago .As you know I have purchased several dvds and had planned on buying several more, but dont know now .thankyou for any help you can be

One of Jimmy's Best and Brian Keith!,
By
This review is from: Rare Breed, the (DVD)
Jimmy Stewart had a habit of making good movies and this is one of them. It tells the story of introducing hereford(or herford) cattle to the united states and it does it partly lighthearted and partly serious. Brian Keith shows up as well as absolutely wonderful former scottish highlander soldier who's taken up ranching in the west. Keith is just great as the old cantankerous scottsman. The herford bull(named vindicator) is cleverly portrayed as well without being silly.

Fine Performances By Stewart and O'Hara,
By Patrick Doherty (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rare Breed, the (VHS Tape)
THE RARE BREED is a film about the delivery of a white-faced Hereford bull from England to the Texas range for breeding purposes. The man responsible for the task is James Stewart. The women who own the bull are Maureen O'Hara and her daughter played by Juliet Mills. THE RARE BREED is a fairly good Western with strong performances by Stewart and O'Hara. A fine supporting cast includes Brian Keith, Don Galloway and David Brian.Andrew V. McLaglen directed many other good movies such as MCLINTOCK and SHENANDOAH.
