When Willie Nelson gets arrested by sheriff Richard Widmark, he spends twenty years in jail. Upon his release, he immediately gathers his old gang together again and robs a bank. Dick feels particularly rotten, since he helped vouch for his character while on the parole board. It becomes a personal mission of his to follow and capture Willie again, so he sets about finding his old gang as well. This is such a cute sequence - one of many in this cute movie - where Chuck Connors, Stuart Whitman, Jack Elam, and Royal Dano get back up on their proverbial horses.
I just love seeing all these white-haired old-timers out in the Wild West again. Richard Widmark is an absolute cutie pie, and Stuart Whitman has a lot of fun pretending he's older than he is. Jack Elam, who made a career out of playing really bad villains, has the most adorable character by far. He's jovial and funny, and it's hard to believe he ever played a bad guy. I'm so happy for him!
I wish there were more backstage trivia on the production, since there were so many old timers put together again. I'm sure everyone had a blast during filming, and I'm also sure it warmed audiences' hearts to see a good old fashioned western again. Check out this tv western and get ready to laugh, smile, and have a great time. You'll also see Kevin McCarthy, Harry Carey Jr., Gene Evans, and Angie Dickinson.
