I agree with most of the preceding opinions relative to this great movie. It is a classic! My favorite genre is Western, but it qualifies as a classic movie...period! The actors are superb. Peck, Heston, Ives, Bickford, Connors, Simmons, etc. stand out in their characterizions and, as a previous writer mentioned, were at the apex of their careers. The dialogue, scenery, and story are first rate. The musical score by Jerome Moross is as memorable as the the theme of the Magnificent Seven. And I believe both of them of them along with Max Steiner's Gone with the Wind theme are the best of all musical scores... western or any other. The Big Country is a movie that is timeless.
