THE FAR COUNTRY

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
In this 1955 Western set in the last half of the 1890s, James Stewart plays a cowboy who tries to take advantage of the sudden Gold Rush by herding cattle from Wyoming to the rugged north. As you watch this Anthony Mann-directed movie, remind yourself that not one head of cattle was generated by a computer – then play a version of supporting-actor “Where’s Waldo?” by looking for all the familiar faces. Walter Brennan is a co-star here, so he’s a gimme – but watch, too, for Harry Morgan, Jack Elam and others.
