I prefer forget this western as from the great film director of APACHE DRUMS and THE RAID, two awesome westerns for my taste. This one is an oater for me, and with Joel Mc Crea, I don't know why, I am not surprised. It is not a crap although, an agreeable flick destined to wide audiences, the whole family. So please, don't judge Hugo Fregonese with this one, APACHE DRUMS is one of the best westerns ever made in terms of atmosphere, nothing to do with this western. A western buff will appreciate SADDLE TRAMP anyway. It is not rough, violent, gritty as many western goers seek and there is also no real surprise.
Joel McCrea is riding along, figuring he'll follow the wild geese to California. First though, he drops in on his brother, who promptly dies, leaving McCrea to deal with his four orphaned sons. He totes them along, hides them while he gets a job with kid-hating John McIntire, and gets caught in subplots involving McIntire's cattle-rustling neighbor, Antonio Moreno, and runaway Wanda Hendrix.
Hugo Fregonese directs this with a rather heavy hand, making sure that the audience is aware of the subtext, and this extends into the various questions and mysteries that the plot concerns itself with, and the heavy-handed musical stings to indicate the jokes. Still, there is some startling original landscape photography by Charles P. Boyle, and Russell Simpson, an inveterate marker of A westerns since he appeared in Demille's THE VIRGINIAN in 1914.

A family type western from Hollywood's most underrated cowboy, Joel McCrea. Here he gives up a footloose, carefree life to care for four homeless boys and a run-away girl (Hendrix). It's a low-key little scenic drama, with little gunplay, but one heck-uv-a knock-down drag- out fist fight. Somebody's stealing cattle from Connor's (McCrea) employer and it looks like it's his Mexican neighbor, but is it. Connor gets mixed up in the feud, like it or not.
McCrea delivers one of his typically likable low-key performances. There's not an ounce of swagger or ego to Connor, but you know his character qualities are solid and he'll come through when he needs to. This is not every western fans cup of tea, but it is both offbeat and entertaining thanks to the sterling Joel McCrea.

Enjoyed the four orphan boys and also the strong woman characterized by the rancher's wife. I also liked the message(s) of the movie. Simple but true.
1. We have to make something of ourselves.
2. The treacherous divides the good and gets them to fight against themselves while the bad rob them blind.
It was a wonderful story and of course it is from sixty plus years ago so its not going to work for everybody. You have to be in the right mood and not worry about corny and enjoy the ride.
The last two comments talk about creepiness and I need to balance that out. This movie was made when on screen kisses were forbidden. Compared to what passes for prime time family entertainment today of course this super innocent. The issue the comments are referring two is the age difference between the 19 year old "runaway" and the Main character being 15 or twenty years older. Well news flash kids you are living in very different times. What you call creepy was actually a completely common experience not only in the American west but throughout much of the world over for hundreds if not thousands of years.
The reason for the young woman's flight from home was referenced in an innocuous way so that young audiences would have little chance of clueing in to her reasons while the rest of us would know damn well while she left the real "creep".
Hey this is a great family movie and something for kids to see.

An excellent Western. Joel McCrea delivers a fine performance as is usual for this gifted actor. The story moves well, and the supporting cast does a fine job. If you haven't seen it, and love Westerns, by all means don't let this one slide by.
