The Rounders (1965)
The wild west's biggest fall guys go head over heels... for a mean-eyed bronc... and some bear-backed fillies
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.
