The Rare Breed
“Young lovers ... restless, bold, ready to meet the brawling dangers of the raw West ... Head On !”
Synopsis
Martha Price and her daughter Hilary must fulfill their late husband's ambition to introduce Hereford cattle to the American West after his death while traveling to America. They hire Sam “Bulldog” Burnett to help transport their single bull, a Hereford named Vindicator, to a breeder in Texas. The journey proves hazardous, and Burnett questions whether the “rare breed” of cattle can survive the trail.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 20
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
