Scandalous John is a 1971 American Western comedy-drama film directed by Robert Butler and produced by Walt Disney Productions. It stars Brian Keith and Alfonso Arau. The music was scored by Rod McKuen.

Plot

John McCanless is a rip-snorting, 79-year-old western rancher, together with the prettiest granddaughter; ugliest horse; scrawniest herd; and puniest partner, a Mexican handyman, go on a cattle drive (of one cow) and do battle against a wealthy, land-grabbing industrialist. After an adventurous (and humorous) trek, à la Don Quixote, the rancher confronts the villain in a shootout that parallels the classic struggle of good and evil in the Old West.

Cast

Music

The film's score was written by Rod McKuen. The film features one original song. "Pastures Green" was written and performed by Rod McKuen as John McCanless and Paco continue their cow drive through the Old West tourist town of Warbag. The song is reprised over the film's end credits.
