The Best Western Movies Ever Made

The Big Country

Even though the United Artists Studio no longer held the right to this production, it took special pride in this movie. The plot is considered ahead of its time, but surprisingly, the film was not very profitable.

The Big Country was Written by James R. Webb (screenplay), Sy Bartlett (screenplay), Robert Wilder (screenplay), Jessamyn West (adaptation), Robert Wyler (adaptation), Donald Hamilton (novel) and directed by William Wyler and produced by United Artists.
