    A Boy's Got To Do What A Man's Got To Do
    Chuck Pierce Jr. Is a Quaker boy living in a small enclave of Quakers in Montana. Pme day his parents are gunned down. The Quaker elders try to decide who should foster him, but he goes off to kill the murderers.

    The charms of this movie lay in its photography of Montana during winter, its supporting, albeit top-billed players -- Jack Elam, Jeannette Nolan -- and its despairing attempt to make sense of evil in a chaotic world, I won't claim that it succeeds in the last, any more than John Wayne's THE COWBOYS did, but in a form still struggling to find stories outside the Spaghetti Western, it's a valiant attempt.
