Cattle King

Very good, underappreciated Western
CATTLE KING is a fine, if under appreciated, little Western that came out (1963) at the end of the great heyday of film Westerns. Starring Robert Taylor, and with a very capable supporting cast that includes Ray Teal, Robert Middleton, Joan Caulfield, and Malcolm Atterbury, CATTLE KING has the advantage of veterans Nat Holt as producer and Paul Sawtell for the musical score. It is certainly one of the most magnificently-filmed oaters of the period, with breathtaking and colorful scenery framing almost every scene.

But more interesting--and impressive--for me has always been the tight and well-crafted script, and the fine, no-nonsense acting of Robert Taylor. Certainly, Taylor was never that much identified with the Western genre, but during his career in Hollywood he made about fifteen oaters, and most of them were good to, in a few cases, remarkably good. It helped, of course, that MGM backed the product. But Taylor also turned in some very believable and memorable...
