The Rounders

1965 · 85 min

A laid-back, amiable ramble with two likable cowboys, gentle humor, and a stubborn horse that keeps things pleasantly unpredictable.

Tagline
The wild west's biggest fall guys go head over heels... for a mean-eyed bronc... and some bear-backed fillies
Overview
Ben (Glenn Ford) and Marion (Henry Fonda) are two cowboys who make a meager living breaking wild horses. Their frequent employer Jim (Chill Wills), who always gets the better of them, talks them into taking a nondescript horse in lieu of some of their wages. Ben finds that the horse is un-rideable, he comes up with the idea of taking it to a rodeo and betting other cowhands they cannot ride it.
