| If It's A Western With Elliott It's Usually Good
Any western that stars Sam Elliott is usually a good one. Few people have ever looked and sounded more like a cowboy than Sam. Also, most westerns feature beautiful landscapes and overall photography, and this film is no exception. Being made-for-TV, it could have been made on-the-cheap but it wasn't. I am not a fan of Ted Turner but his TNT westerns look beautiful, all of them.

Elliott plays a lower-key role than usual, being an appealing sort as a loving father and husband and a good-guy marshal. This western is a bit different in that the time period is the early 1900s with automobiles and such dotting the landscape.

There is not a lot of action in here and not an especially happy ending, either, but it's a good western that worth you while to check out.

Trivia

Film scouts came to Oklahoma for possible locations but Alberta, Canada, was chosen to save money. Elliott quit the project over this since TNT had agreed to shoot in Oklahoma as an early condition of Elliott's involvement. Director Harrison convinced him to return but he has said that his biggest regret on this movie was not shooting it in on location. The film did have its premiere in a theater in Oklahoma City, and Elliott attended.
