This is the first time I've seen this film since it was made almost 25 years ago. I tend to stay away from late John Wayne and anything before Stagecoach. I really saw it for Richard Jordan as he was one of my favorites since I saw him do Shakespeare in the Park back in the 1960's. Jordan excelled in playing mean bad guys in westerns (Posse, Chato's Land) and the character of Hawk was probably the meanest he ever played. Wayne and Hepburn have good chemistry together and worked with a good script. It dragged a little towards the end, and I would have liked to see a showdown between Hawk and Cogburn, but otherwise a good western.
