Ben Jones (Glenn Ford) and Howdy Lewis (Henry Fonda) are cowboys who spend their days breaking horses and flirting with two sisters (Kathleen Freeman, Joan Freeman). When Ben and Howdy trade Ol' Fooler, an unbreakable horse, for corn liquor, the client returns the horse after it passes out from drinking whiskey. The cowboys grow fond of Ol' Fooler and, knowing that he is nearly impossible to ride, enter the horse in the rodeo hoping to make their fortune.

Judith Crist New York Herald Tribune Aug 15, 2022
The Rounders is one of those utterly relaxed comedies that make ideal entertainment because there's tender loving care every step of the way and no sweat. Go to Full Review
Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press Apr 3, 2019
The movie has wonderful outdoor color photography, better than some done for bigger films. Ford and Fonda seem to be having fun in their non-heroic cowboy parts. It's not great, but it's different. Go to Full Review

Anakin P May 22, 2017 An entertaining movie with little real plot.
