The Two Faces of Bob Claxton (1960)

Betty Lou Keim: Fran McCord

Quotes 

• Marshal Simon Fry : How old would you say that boy is, Miss Fran?

  Fran McCord : Not more than sixteen.

  Herk Lamson : With a gun in his hand, he's old enough to vote!

• Fran McCord : Where's your ma?

  Bob Claxton : Dead - died not long after they hung my pa.

  Fran McCord : They hung your pa? What for?

  Bob Claxton : Horse stealin' - there'd been a lot of it around. Folks seemed to think Pa was responsible.

  Fran McCord : Was he?

  Bob Claxton : Stealin' stopped right after they stretched him.

• [referring to Bob's good manners and common sense] 

  Fran McCord : Didn't I tell you?

  Judge Jones : The question is, can you tell the two innocent men who were shot down during the hold-up?

• Judge Jones : You know somethin'? I was taken in, too. I had just promised Clay to help get the boy a new trial when the shootin' started.

  Fran McCord : You did?

  Judge Jones : That's a fact. So you just perk up and be proud you did what you thought was right. You and the people of Silver City wanted to give the boy a second chance. So it turns out he didn't want it. He's the one that made the mistake - not you.
