Rebel in Town (1956)
This One Brought Tears....

Warning: Spoilers
I was able to watch "Rebel in Town" (1956) & gave it 8 out of 10. I have looked for this movie for ages.

I remember when the Bedlow Mason (J. Carrol Naish) family showed up in town to water the horses, get supplies & check into staging a robbery.

It was there that John & Nora Willoughby (John Payne & Ruth Roman) lost their only child Petey when he startled outlaw Wesley. Wes turned & blew Petey away. This becomes bad for the baby brother of Wes & worse for John & Nora.

John was filled with grief, anger & revenge. Nora's was grief, loneliness & sorrow. Her forgiveness became stronger when she realized John had brought home an injured young man, Ben...Ben Mason! The boy she saw at Petey's murder.

There is so much that you will miss if you don't take time for this film. Will there be any peace between the Willoughbys & the Masons? Will the "sad", then, possibly, "understanding" emotions be overwhelming for all? If 'Pro' is the opposite of 'Con' then what is the opposite of Progress?
