How The West Was Won. A cast of thousands... Gregory Peck (with the dodgiest Irish/Canadian/Welsh accent ever), Henry Fonda, Lee J Cobb, Eli Wallach, Spencer Tracy, Karl Malden, even a young George Peppard (he actually shot someone!)... to name but a few, dang nabbit!
So many actors could ride a horse and they even gave some of those pesky Injuns a Christian burial (which is just what any self-respecting Commanche would want). Real life messages in this one!
….cast of stars, a bit like The Longest Day.
On the subject of them all being able to ride, James Stewart had a genuine fear of horses, except one called Pie which he rode in every Western he was in.
