I agree when some other users say that's an interesting character portrait, Don Murray's I mean, although the overall scheme is quite foreseeable and did not avoid all stereotypes. But I did not understand why they used the James and Younger brothers characters here; that's definitely not a movie about those authentic West legends, but about a sheriff who loses his nerves, his dignity, his wife, everything, and finally gets it back. Why putting the James and Younger brothers here? John Saxon's character is so poignant, the best one I had seen since a long time, really.
I don't remember such scheme was made for the big screen, although this sounds familiar, as I have said above. Maybe in other TV stuff. But I have seen so may movies in my life, since my childhood...I just can't remember a title with the same scheme and name it. A truly excellent TV movie. Period.
