...foil for Wayne, although only the lopsided length of their roles keeps Arthur Hunnicutt, one of the best character actors in Hollywood, from stealing the film. In a script full of raucous frontier humor, the most amusing scene slyly comments on the state of the western today. At the fadeout, Wayne has been pinked in the knee, Mitchum in the thigh. With crutches as swagger sticks, they limp triumphantly past the camera-two old pros demonstrating that they are better on one good leg apiece than most of the younger stars...

Eventually, as is proper in this kind of Hollywood hokum, she does both. But before the final fadeout she is preached at and screeched at by Roddy McDowall as her manager, Phil Harris as a TV producer, and Mrs. Miller (TIME, May 13, 1966) as herself.

Instead Uncle Walt opts for a conventional fur-flying climax, and by fadeout time the heroic Siamese has somehow sired a litter of adorable kittens. Such bounties adequately fill a kid's stocking, but parents not previously afflicted with cat allergy may well feel the first faint sniffle...
