The Big Land (1957)
Oh, you boys can sleep as late as you like in the morning... so long as you get up for breakfast. Five o'clock.
Back home in Texas following the Civil War, former Confederate officer Chad Morgan (Alan Ladd) leads a cattle drive to Missouri, assuring fellow ranchers that their stock will bring $10 a head at auction.
