Across the Wide Missouri

[Enfield1]

I was gettin' ready for work this morning and I put the TV on the "Grit" channel to see what old western was on. The first image that I saw was of Clark Gable wearing buck skins while running a patch through the bore of some sort of muzzle loading plains/Hawken type of rifle. He appeared to be inside of some sort of frontier stockade fort. I saw some other mountain men/trappers milling about and then I had to shut it off and come to work. I found that the name of the movie is "Across the Wide Missouri", obviously a film take on the book. I have not seen it, but it looked to be entertaining from what I did see. Has anyone seen this? What did y'all think of it?

I really enjoyed it beautiful scenery and Ricardo Montalbon was bad ass as a blackfoot!
