Once more a clash of Cattle ranchs vs shepherds at Ford's way!!!

It's looks like a deja vu on Ford's way, likes in "The Sheepman" he has to handling this matter again, this turn he is a sort of gunfighter and pastor, trying to make peace among them, the old stars like Ford and Jones appear newcomers as David Carradine & Barbara Hershey promissing actors to next generation.

Meanwhile we have the fine John Anderson as angry rancher and Noah Beery Jr. Who seem to be enough mind to realise such killing, apart that the saloon's girls garnish the picture with some rare nude scenes in werstern in this period, really the time is changing!!

Resume:

First watch: 1990 / How many: 4 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7.
