In "The Cowboys" (1972) John Wayne takes on a group of young boys to help him escorting his herd of cows over 400 miles throughout the west, as no men are willing to do it. The journey is full of adventure and of course lessons for the inexperienced boys... and even for the old man Wil Andersen (Wayne). Director Mark Rydell came from directing for television and tried himself in motion pictures around the end of the 60s. In "The Reivers" he enjoyed a very satisfying collaboration with composer John Williams, who had written a marvelous and colorful score for the picture. For "Cowboys" Rydell returned to Williams, who provided again a rather unusual score for the beginning of the 70s: a rousing and youthful orchestral western score. Both of those soundtracks would later call young filmmaker and filmmusic fan Steven Spielberg on the scene to work with the composer on his first movie (and then on and on and on...). The score not only elevated the movie into an absolute colorful joyride but certainly did its part for the careers of Rydell, Williams and Spielberg. Enjoy our ride out of the film's 50th anniversary directly into a new year full of goods for all of you and your loved ones!

@thunderstruck5484 "possibly" "one of his best": were you looking to praise or insult the man?

Thanks, so much, Fred! I have heard several different versions of this score, each of them very different, yet each brilliant. There were passages in this version, early on ("The Boys" and "Wil and Ann") that had such originality. This is my favorite Williams score, because it's less of a rip-off than, say, Star Wars (Holst) or Superman (Holst again). But the composer is always the last man on the scene (except for Morricone, in Once Upon a Time in the West). And it was "the big cowboy" and Mark Rydell's direction, which inspired John Williams. I won't say that this was Wayne's greatest performance--Scott Eyman maintains that his work in The Searchers was better than anything Brando ever did--but it's up there. And the restrained scene when Wil Anderson is dying, and talking to the boys about how his sons had gone bad, and he thought this might be a second chance for him, was as good as anything he ever did. He should have been up for Best Actor. Heck, he should have been up for it about eight times!

Outstanding craftsmanship Fred, bringing this excellent soundtrack together. I saw this film at a local drive-in theater with my family, and what moved me most, as a Jr. High School student in those turbulent times was the beautifully majestic, heroic music.

Grazie Fred.🤠👍🏻 Bravo John Williams.👏🏻 Concludi l'anno con i 50 anni del film. John Wayne è un monumento dell'epopea western.👏🏻 Il film racconta la fine di un mito, ma anche la necessità di trasmettere la fiaccola in altre mani, che rappresentano un'America nuova, tributaria di quella del passato. Nel 1974 la Warner Bros. produsse la serie televisiva remake "Giovani Cowboys" (The Cowboys) per la ABC con protagonisti Jim Davis, Diana Douglas, e Moses Gunn. Per motivi personali e di tempi, non lo so se continuerò ad esprimere commenti scrivendo o usando solo le emoticon! Buon anno a tutti Happy New Year!🎅🏻🎄❄☃️🦌🎃🎁🎉🍾🥂🎈🎤🎶🎆♻️🌈🫂❤🤞🏻🥳

One of my favorite John Wayne films and an excellent score. I especially like the horn arrangement in Wil and Ann and the shades of Aaron Copeland in Crazy Alice... Happy New Year Fred!

Hi, Fred! Anyone who wants to know the real John Williams has to analyze him for his works from the 70's backwards, before being influenced by Spielberg's irritating childishness from the 80's onwards. " The Cowboys " is a great example: Williams flirts with previous exponents of essentially North American music such Copland, John Carpenter ( 1876 - 1951 ), Samuel Barber and Ferde Grofe ( especially in the arrangements for brass instruments ), but gives his particular touch ( in the strings ). " The Cowboys " is a melancholic film, but even in this characteristic its music is elegant and doesn't dispense with a feeling of grandiosity of spirit ( he is already here with his favorite orchestrator - since 1967, the Chilean Herbert Spencer ). Well... Thanks again, Fred!! See you in 23!!!

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

Good point. The Fury, Superman, The Cowboys, Poseidon and Inferno...some of the best of Williams now forgotten after his Lucas Spielberg adventures.

What nonsense. The "real" John Williams? What does that even mean? What on earth are you talking about? The guy wrote music for movies. Great music...for movies. No one listens to his other stuff. He was no Beethoven or Mahler probing the purpose of human existence, or writing great cantatas to God like Bach, or playing cat-and -mouse games with a murderous dictator like Shosty. He wrote music - for movies. Great music, throughout his career - for movies!
