on America's acquisition of English Hereford cattle (which would phase out Texas Longhorns). In the 1880s, Englishwoman Martha Price (Maureen O'Hara) and her daughter Hilary (Juliet Mills) come to America to sell their prize Hereford bull at an auction. When he is purchased by Bowen, a wild Scotsman (Brian Keith), the women hire a footloose cowhand named Burnett (James Stewart) to help them transport the animal to its new owner. So begins an adventure that tests the mettle of all involved as they battle killers, cattle stampedes - and each other. But when they reach Bowen's ranch, even greater obstacles force them to summon up extraordinary courage if they, and the prize bull, are to survive.

THE RARE BREED is that uncommon oater that emphasizes character over action. Martha Price (O'Hara), a headstrong widow, has taken her daughter, Hilary (Mills), and a valuable bull from England with plans to deliver the animal to Texas. A downtrodden drifter, Sam Burnett (Stewart), helps Martha make her way--but leads her afoul of some swindlers. Though initially tempted to scam the woman, Burnett eventually has his way with the rustlers and clears a safe passage for Martha, Hilary and the bull. When they arrive at their destination, they learn, distressingly, that Alexander Bowen, the grumpy Scot who owns the land, runs his ranch like a medieval manor. But an unexpected romance between Hilary and the Alexander's son manages to bring all these hard cases together...
Advantages: A lovely atmosphere, beautiful countryside and a wonderful array of rare breeds Disadvantages: I wish it could be bigger
...I absolutely love this place....Twice winner of the Wiltshire Family Attraction of the Year Award, Cholderton RareBreeds farm is a picturesque park showing off Britain's farm animal heritage. It's hidden away in the Wiltshire countryside and I'm sure many people don't know it's there...
The heart of this farm is Rabbit World, showing over 50 varieties from giant to dwarf - the largest collection of breeds of farm animals in the area - housed within a huge barn...at the end of which there is the opportunity for you and the children to sit with and stroke some of the younger rabbits. At certain times of the year, there will be babies that can be seen nestling with their mums. Some of the animals including sheep, chickens, and rabbits are even up for sale which is more of a pre-warning as the children will definately want to take...

Advantages: Enjoyable, with false endings Disadvantages: Tries to be clever in places, but is not really
...Once every while a movie comes along that leaves such a punch in its final moments that its final message outweighs any other aspect of the film.
New Aussie horror The Dying Breed opens in a rather lengthy way, delivering an insight into four characters without really giving you a shred of information. Geared firmly at the character of Nina who has lots of meaningful moments, flashbacks and visions of events that occurred to her sister in a rural location sometime earlier. The movies characters all have headed to a strange backwater in search of the site of the mysterious Tasmanian Tiger, something that is as great a myth as Bigfoot. While Nina acts all weird and deep, the others all seem to share a mutual dislike for each other forming two parties. But as they feud, they all miss completely the tensions that surround them.
