The Rare Breed (1966), starring Jimmy Stewart is just about the worst western I've ever seen -- yes, it was worse than Wild Wild West.

Jimmy plays a cowpoke named Sam Burnett (ya, real original cowpoke name there) who makes the aquaintence of this lady and her daughter from England who brought over an English bull because they wanted to breed it with some longhorns. The lady's husband died on the way over. So, of course, the movie is sort of about the bull and sort of about how the lady and Jimmy eventually get together. So far so good.

But, they also threw in this drunken Scottish guy, played by Brian Keith, who wore a wig and fake beard and talked with a fake accent. He's the guy that the bull was sold to, and he wants to get it on with the English lady too. One would think that a fake Scottish rancher would make a western good (maybe that's what the writer, Ric Hardman, and the director, Andrew V. McLaglen, were thinking). But, no. Fake Scottish guy or not, this movie sucks!

So, I looked up this Andrew V. McLaglen on IMDB, and wouldn't you know it: he's English, and he also directed Wild Wild West. I'm just kidding about the Wild Wild West part, but he is English, and he did direct a bunch of other westerns and some TV movies. He was also 6 feet 7 inches tall!!
