Fans of old Western films, particularly John Wayne's RED RIVER, they decide to vacation at a dude ranch, where they will be responsible for a two-week-long cattle drive through the Colorado hills.

I found almost nothing funny about this film. Palance's performance saved it.

A fun outing, with Jack Palance's Oscar-winning performance the main attraction.

It goes downhill once Jack Palance exits, but the early scenes are still worth it.

Billy Crystal is hilarious as the fish-out-of-water cowpoke.
