The Big Land
1957, English. Directed by Gordon Douglas.
Oh, you boys can sleep as late as you like in the morning... so long as you get up for breakfast. Five o'clock.
Back home in Texas following the Civil War, former Confederate officer Chad Morgan (Alan Ladd) leads a cattle drive to Missouri, assuring fellow ranchers that their stock will bring $10 a head at auction. Instead, ruthless cattle baron Brog (Anthony Caruso) has scared off all competition and offers much less.
