The Rare Breed (1966)



An English woman and her daughter enlist the aid of a cowboy to try and get their hardy hornless bull to mate with the longhorns of Texas, but have to overcome greedy criminals and the natural elements.

Broad, solidly made Western with an unusual topic is a partly amusing drama, but not really exciting; the star cast does a good job, though.

Halliwell (no star): "Amusing Western idea which misses fire by not coming down firmly as either drama or comedy; it does however pass the time amiably enough."

Maltin***: "Odd part-comedy Western on the unusual subject of improving cattle breeds. Hampered only by too much obvious studio shooting."
