If anything, I like films with lots and lots of cows in them. I don't know what it is about the buggers, but I just love them. In this, The American Cowboy, a totally insipid newspaper reporter who seems to have not wandered outside of his office ever is surprised to realize that most cowboys nowadays ride trucks into town and maybe Italian (no really). He goes on a nice cattle drive where we learn all about the interesting life of a cowboy. Full of great shots, beautiful scenery and yes, cows, this comes reccomended by me.

A city-slicker reporter from Detroit spends a year on a cattle ranch in order to find out what the life of a cowboy is like. This film provides an interesting and quite complete snapshot of the life of cattle ranchers and ranchhands during the 50s. By that time, some aspects of ranching had been modernized, but others were virtually unchanged from the 19th-century days of the open range. A full year's worth of cowboy activities are shown, including branding, driving cattle to the upper ranges, rodeos, haying, and driving the cattle to market. Cowboy buffs and anyone geniunely interested in what real-life ranching is like (or was like during the 50s, at least), should enjoy this film immensely.
