Cattle Queen of Montana is a 1954 American Western film starring Barbara Stanwyck and Ronald Reagan. The supporting cast includes Jack Elam, Chubby Johnson, and Morris Ankrum, and the movie was directed by Allan Dwan. The Jones family, about to prove claim to prime Montana land, is raided by renegade Indians in league with villainous neighbor McCord, who gets most of the stolen cattle. Two survivors are helped by college-educated chief's son Colorados. Now Sierra Nevada Jones must fight for her land against legal technicalities and assorted villains. Can she gain the help of McCord's hired... gun, Farrell? In the Cattle Queen of Montana, one of Tom McCord's men is shot by Sierra Jones, and Farrel , another of McCord's men and witness to the shooting, lies about how the altercation took place to one of the gang leaders, and leaves despite being asked to wait at the headquarters for Tom McCord to show up. In Martin Scorsese's film, The Departed, Leonardo DiCaprio's character, Billy Costigan, is asked to stick around at the gang's headquarters until all of the gang member's backgrounds have been checked, but leaves anyway despite the warning.
