My daughter loves horses and is 6 years old. She and I watched this movie and were delighted the entire time. This is one of the very few G rated movies that is actually made in such a way that no parts were too intense for a young child. The scenery was lovely. The nature scenes were wonderful. The dialogue was simple, but very real, and laced with kindness that is rare these days. I loved the subtle wisdom of Dan, and the way the boy was refreshed by his influence. An overall winner in my book. One funny detail was that a pure-bred rottweiler dog was in the film, and when the owner was asked what kind of dog it was, he replied, "You name it, he's got it!"
A family Western set in 1925, Montana, Canada border, about a veteran cowboy : Joel McCrea's final movie at his 69 year-old , and an Indian little boy : teen Mina, dealing with their relationships and the hunt for a valuable horse. Along the way they confront a feared Grizzly Bear that is causing wreak havoc.
Nice film regarding a family story with Joel McCrea as a rancher comes out of retirement and teams up with an Indian boy, and then both of whom attemping to tame a brave mustang. Here is shown Wilderness Splendor and animal fury . Here appears a lot of wildlife such as dangerous rattlesnake , wolves , Coyote , American Buffalo , Coonskin, Puma , the wild Mustang and a bloody Grizzly Bear . Forteen years on from Sam Peckinpah's Ride in High Sierra, aging Joel Crea's goes back , as he came out of retirement to play a likeable and upright starring in his last film. Pleasant to watch the old cowboy up and about, but there's little to it. MacCrea was a B actor , though ocassionally he played A films as Sullivan's travels and The Dangerous game . Joel perfomed a lot of Westerns, such as : Union Pacific , Buffalo Bill, The Virginian , Ramrod , South of Saint Luis , Four Faces West , The Oklahoman . MacCrea is well acompanied by a sympathetic kid, Nika Mina, and as guest stars in brief appearances : Patrick Wayne, John Wayne's son, and Robert Fuller who at the time played several Westerns.
It contains colorful and briliant cinematography by Barry Heron. Showing spectacular and breathtaking landscapes shot on location in Banff National Park, Canada. The motion picture was well produced and directed by John Champion at his only one . Champion produced various Westerns as Texas Kid , Shotgun , Hellgate, Stampede and Laramie series and Warfare movies as Submarine X-I , Attack on the Iron Coast , Zero hour, Dragofly squadron . Rating 6/10. Decent adventure western in Walt Disney style that will appeal both, children and adults

This has been described as a Western but I tend to disagree feeling it has more of an affinity with the "wilderness"movies and TV series that were being made around the same time ,such as Adventures of the Wilderness Family and Grizzly Adams.It is a simple tale of an ex-rodeo star turned rancher (Joel McCrea)who ,joined by a young native American boy (Nika Mina)sets out to capture the last wild mustang in Montana ,during the 1920's .There are only two other roles -a brief one scene appearance from Robert Fuller (ex of the Laramie TV show)and Patrick Wayne.
The movie is pleasant but inconsequential offering little drama or character interaction but beguiling the eye with some attractive scenery and I suspect its main appeal will be to those seeking undisturbing family entertainment . It was to be Joel McCrea's last movie and he brought to it his usual rock solid professionalism The movie uses clips from earlier McCrea movies to illustrate the psst life of his character in this movie ..It would have been more fitting if he had ended his career with what turned out to be his penultimate movie Ride the High Country -that wonderfully elegy and tribute to a passing breed of men .As it was he left with this movie -pleasant ,untroubling but a bit too soft focused to be really aimed at adults
Its nice and its amiable -nothing more.

In 1976 this unexpected movie was as much a surprise as a refreshing relief from the grim gangster pics that had taken hold on the industry of the day. A well and truly retired Joel McCrea must have liked the script from writer/producer/director John Champion to allow himself to be lured back into the game he said he was through with - and at 69 he proved a formidable character to tackle such an active role. Being a professional horseman he makes moving at speed look as easy as an evening stroll! It seems the film was made to commemorate some Centenary celebration and was released in two versions - the best was released into cinemas as a support, at approx 80mins - while an extended version screened on TV, padded out with footage lifted from earlier McCrea westerns.
It's as pleasing to the eye as it is unusual for its day and while slight in its overall story, is set in some of the most ruggedly beautiful country in Alberta and well photographed by J. Barry Herron (Orca '77). Within the opening, there is an appearance of two guest stars, Patrick Wayne and Robert Fuller - who don't return for the duration but are used quite well. A one and only screen performance by a young native Indian lad, Nika Mina completes the rest of the cast as they search the hills for a precious wild Mustang. Random shots of animals existing in the wild are accompanied by a fine music score from gifted composer/arranger Lee Holdridge. There's a good song included by Denny Brooks ("Follow Your Restless Dreams") that's nicely featured in one section and closes the film. On the journey, a massive rogue Black Bear adds deadly excitement invading a barn the two central travellers take refuge in.
McCrea followers will be pleased to see this sterling veteran performer in his final role. In 1976, this little film won a Western Heritage Trustees Award for outstanding family entertainment in a western motion picture (though I agree with other reviewers that this film, set in 1925, is more a 'Wilderness' movie than a Western) Some DVD copies available are poor but It seems Universal have recently given this worthy picture a new DVD release - while I have not seen the quality, if taken from the original 35mm negative this should look visually perfect.

With the exception to the incredibly sappy song you unfortunately hear twice during "Mustang Country", this is a dandy film...especially since it represents Joel McCrea's final movie appearance.
The plot to this film is a bit like that of a similar film of the era, "Mackintosh and T. J.". In it, Roy Rogers comes out of retirement for one final film...and both have to do with an old cowboy befriending a mixed up kid who just needs a bit of guidance.
In this case, Dan (McCrea) is out trying to capture a very elusive wild mustang when he comes upon young Mika, a native teen who's run away from school. Dan helps the boy make his way to his grandfather's house, but when it turns out the man is dead, Dan keeps Mika with him to help him in his quest for that Black horse.
The film clearly has 'Family Movie' written all over it...and that's not a bad thing. It felt like the actor McCrea mentoring the next generation and it's one of his better performances. Not a brilliant film but a very good and enjoyable one that I recently found on YouTube. Plus the scenery around Banff is simply breathtaking.

Dan: Speakin' of chasers, I saw you two goin' after Shoshone a while back. How'd your new tactics work?
Griff: Same as the old ones... he got away.
Tee Jay: Instead of offerin' a five hundred dollar reward for catchin' that mustang, the cattleman's association oughta make it five thousand. Nobody'd ever collect.
