    • Trivia
      Director Don Siegel and star Michael Parks clashed on the film numerous times - in one case after Parks wanted to wear a mustache a certain way and Siegel wanted it another way. The clashes ceased immediately when Siegel made up a ridiculous looking mask from a stick and a piece of gaffer tape, which he stuck to his face, causing Parks to burst out laughing.

    Something of a gem
    I'd love to know more about how this made-for-TV movie came about. It's got Don Siegel for it's director and Henry Fonda leading a first rate cast -- Dan Duryea is a stand out as the older, wiser gun-hand well past his prime (although he's actual a year younger that Fonda, Duryea looks at least 15 years older, but I gather he was in ill health). Not to give too much away, Fonda is a bum who drifts into town and upsets the apple cart by inquiring about the sister of a friend. The story builds quickly and is intriguing, but it is the characterizations of the players that give the movie it's greatest appeal. Even the minor characters are given some depth and not just the stereotypical kind of depth that is generally used as a kind of short-hand. The production values are just what they should be and the photography is excellent. I would suggest you go out of your way to try to catch this little gem of a western.
