★★★★★ · So good. · Gerald Austin · 2022-08-29

I'm still chuckling! It had some of my favorite people in it. I am a real fan of Walter Brennan, and pretty well anything with him in it is good. And all of those old geezers are funny. Very funny.

★★★★ · pretty impressive · revdaddy · 2009-09-08

This made for TV movie was about what one would expect as far as the story went. What was amazing were the stars in it. Ricky Nelson, Jack Elam, Walter Brennan, Pat O'Brien, Chill Wills, Andy Devine and Gypsy Rose Lee. All of the acting was wonderful and you really pulled for the old men as they proved that experience and deception will defeat youth every time. I give it four stars
