Programme Information

Superior western family saga starring Van Heflin. The ageing star puts in a rock-hard performance as a veteran of the Wild West who's failed to grow up with the frontier. His determination to mould sons Tab Hunter and James Darren in his gun-totin' image backfires when one of them turns into a murderous desperado. A mature examination of racism, violence and parental ambition, this is a treat for fans of all genres.
