The Big Country (1958)

Continuity mistake: When Jim tries to ride "old Thunder" he bucks off and brushes all the straw out of his hair. Seconds later it is back.

Major Terrill: There's no prettier sight in the world than 10,000 head of cattle... unless it's 50,000.

Trivia: Burl Ives plays Rufus Hannassey, the father of Buck Hannassey (Chuck Connors). In real life, Ives was only 11 years older than Connors.
