Cowboy Ratings & Reviews

Mister ArnMay 15, 2025
It was exceptional casting that placed Jack Lemmon in the role of a man driven by love to become a cattleman. The myth of the western Coyboy is at play throughout this film. It's this persona of Cowboy as created by Hollywood that makes this movie fun to watch.
