Will Penny (1968)


IMDb plot summary: Aging cowboy Will Penny gets a line camp job on a large cattle spread and finds his isolated cabin is already occupied by a husbandless woman and her young son.
Directed by Tom Gries. Starring Charlton Heston, Joan Hackett, Donald Pleasence, and Lee Majors.

Well, this is just very strange to watch right after The Stalking Moon, another western movie from 1968 with an incredibly similar plot. This one, however, emphasizes the romance, ends on a downer, and doesn't dance around nearly so many interesting plots. This is definitely one that's going to disappear out of my memory very quickly.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Will Penny < Struck by Lightning
Will Penny < Stardust Memories
Will Penny > Roger Dodger
Will Penny > The Net
Will Penny > Top Gun
Will Penny < The Savages
Will Penny > Facing the Giants
Will Penny > The Great Train Robbery
Will Penny < 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Will Penny < The Swiss Family Robinson
Will Penny < Adam's Rib
Will Penny > Animal House
Final spot: #2340 out of 3042.
