The Rare Breed (1966) starring James Stewart, Maureen O'Hara, Brian Keith. Headstrong British widow Martha Price (O'Hara) is determined to transport her prized Hereford bull Vindicator to Texas to breed with longhorns. Along the way, she is "helped" by old cowboy Sam Burnett (Stewart), who is involved in a shady deal to deliver the bull to the wrong destination. The movie is a curious mixture of Western and comedy, and doesn't completely succeed at either. Still, it's entertaining to watch, and there's plenty of Western action (fistfights, a stampede, bushwhacking). Keith, in red beard and wig, is over the top as a Scottish cattle baron in Texas. The subtitles are adequate. Grade: B
