Fight for Honor

Chill Wills had to be one of the worst actors that was ever allowed on TV or the movies. He was truly a "good ole boy" and got to play a disgusting loudmouth drunk in everything he ever did.

Gene Evans got to be the philosophical country cowboy in everything he did. If you actually listen to what he is saying, it is pretty dumb TV stuff, ripped from a hundred other Westerns.

These two opposite characters collide due to a drunken party at a saloon. The story itself is about the contrast between the two characters. Matt Dillon and Red Conniston's (Chill Wills) Indian son make the difference. It is your basic morality play.

If you like Chill Wills or Gene Evans it might be entertaining, otherwise you are waiting for the gunfight at the end.
