All it is essentially a group of Mormons travelling across the desert. Fair enough there is some great scenery in it which would look a lot better in colour!! Ben Johnson and Harry Carey Jr play their roles really well as does Ward Bond. But the film certainly lacks action of which their is a small bit at the beginning and a bit at the end but thats about it! Not one of John Ford's best!!!!

Good solid western with some great scenery, but needed a bit more action. The choice of black & white doesn't really do the fantastic location justice.

This western feels a bit tame to begin with, but as you watch you realise it has a lot of depth on several different levels.

I'm not a Mormon and nor do I have any interest to become one but I enjoyed this film. A pretty basic plot and character development, to get from point A to point B and in between you run into assholes that die in the end.
