Cowboys -- Madrid, New Mexico, 1959. Monte, 8, and Leroy, 8 1/2, brush with life and death when their dream of being real cowboys comes true. The boys are double crossed by a cowboy, run from the sheriff, are accountable for the death of a rabbit, and are rescued by an Indian. 'Sometimes ya gotta do things yer Ma says ya can't.'

El Dorado -- Robert Mitchum plays to perfection an alcoholic but gutsy sheriff who relentlessly battles the dark side of the wild West, ruthless cattle barons and crooked 'businessmen.' The Duke gives an equally adept performance as the sheriff's old friend who knows his way around a gunfight.

Based on the true story of Marty Maher, a humble Irish immigrant who rose through the ranks to become one of West Point's most beloved instructors, "The Long Gray Line" is a rousing tribute to a remarkable man and his way of life. Director John Ford and star Tyrone Power, themselves the sons of Irish immigrants, bring an extra dimension of fidelity and fervor to this inspiring biography. Newly arrived in America, Maher's first job was as a waiter at West Point. Clumsy and boisterous, he quickly broke so much of the military academy's china that he was forced to join the army to repay his debts.But once enlisted, the rough-and-ready Dubliner served his adopted nation with rare dedication, establishing himself as an inspirational coach at West Point. Spanning 50 years and two world wars, the film shows Maher at his best, molding and motivating the young men who would become America's heroes and presidents. Filmed on location with a stellar supporting cast (including Ford favorites Maureen O'Hara, Ward Bond and Harry Carey, Jr.), "The Long Gray Line" is a stirring reminder of Marty Maher's proud place in history.
