Plot
A very bad man, is nursed back to health by a Quaker girl. He falls in love and has to choose between his world and the world his new love lives in.
Review
A good idea for a film, if overdone. The film blends action with scenes of comedy as a bad guy mixes with a peaceful group of God-fearing people. John Wayne is his usual best, but the script could have done with a bit more, especially from the slightly unbelievable Quakers.
Additional Interesting Information
Although it is widely listed as being so, Louis Faust apparently doesn't play Hondo Jeffries. Faust plays an unnamed character. This information comes from the son of Louis Faust, Joe Faust, who wrote to the Forgotten Actors blog.
Louis Faust is on the right, in the black hat, behind Bruce Cabot. The 'Hondo' character is on the left of the picture.
Richard Farnsworth was a stuntman on this film. In 2000 he was nominated for an Oscar for 'Best Actor in a Leading Role' for the film 'Straight Story (1999)'.
