Here's an excellent and exciting western starring an aged John Wayne who hires a bunch of children to man a cattle drive because all the adults were caught up in the gold rush. This group of children starts off as little boys but comes out as men. Memorable characters, wonderful performances and a first-rate script makes "The Cowboys" one of the best modern westerns available.
