Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaElla flatters Obie, calling him "a young man". He replies, "I ain't so young no more, not pushing fifty I ain't." Ella: "Fifty? I don't believe it. You look more like 35 to me." Royal Dano, the actor playing Obie, was not quite 33 at the time.
- GoofsAs the story opens Obie is seen filing on a plough. Unfortunately Obie should stay with prospecting/mining as he knows nothing about farming. Obie is filing on the mouldboard which rides in the bottom of the furrow and provides no cutting of any kind. It therefore requires no sharpening. The Foreshare and mainshare provide the cutting and require sharpening.
- Quotes
Matt Dillon: [scouring Dodge for the outlaws who dragged Obie] Let's try the Long Branch.
Obie Tater: What are you gonna do if you find them, Marshal? Put them in jail?
Matt Dillon: If there's enough left when I get through.
Featured review
Dano Showcase
With his mournful voice, sad eyes, and cadaverous body, Royal Dano, doesn't look or sound like anyone else. He was best playing a victim of one kind or another. Here, he plays the hapless Obie Taylor, a lonely farmer said to have brought back a pile of gold from his time in the California gold rush. Trouble is that he denies it in a convincing way and certainly doesn't look like he has a dime. Nonetheless, the hidden gold rumor reaches the usual greedy types and two of them drag Obie, hoping he'll reveal the location. Now the marshal is interested, even as Obie is smitten by comely saloon girl Ella (Kathy Adams) who makes eyes at him.
Final scene gives the inimitable Dano a chance to tug at everyone's heart-strings. I still remember his portrayal of Abe Lincoln on the old Omnibus show, probably the most moving portrayal ever. Anyway, it's a pretty good entry, waiting around to see what will happen to Dano. In passing-- I didn't know Dodge stocked up on Maidenform bra's, but Miss Adams certainly sports an uplift model. In fact, the last shot looks like the two biggest peaks in the flat state of Kansas-- so, hang around, guys.
