Twenty Mule Team (aka 20 Mule Team) is a 1940 Western film about Arizona borax miners starring Wallace Beery and Anne Baxter, and remains an extremely rare opportunity to watch Beery work with his similar-looking nephew Noah Beery, Jr., who played "Rocky" on television's The Rockford Files 35 years later (source: the Internet Movie Database). The movie was directed by Richard Thorpe and originally released in Sepiatone, a brown and white process used by the studio the previous year for the Kansas scenes in The Wizard of Oz.
