      Audience Member a young farmhand longs to leave the routine of farm life and manages to join a group of cattle herders. benson does a good job of playing the young kid coming of age under a kind, but naive, trail boss. tragedy leads jory to growing up fast, forcing him to commit acts which he ordinarily wouldn't have, but in the end set him on a better path. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A surprisingly good early 70's western geared more towards teens and older children. This was a very violent,serious in tone western starring the voice of Aladdin Robby Benson. At times this feels like a televsion film, but the film starts going into dark violent territory with violent shootings done by Benson himself along with other subject matter. He himself might have been 13 or 14 at the time of the film. Not a bad watch if you find it in one of those 70's forgotten movies dvd packs. A slightly above 3 star movie that is worth multiple watches. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
