Robby Benson is Jory in a movie about a kid in the West. Yes, he's a fifteen-year-old boy who joins a horse drive after his father Ethan (Claudio Brook) is killed by a drunk who is killed by Jory. What a happy little film!
The young man gets hired by Roy Starr (John Marley), has a bad influence in Jocko (B. J. Thomas), becomes friends with saloon girl Dora (Anne Lockhart) and falls in love with Amy (Linda Purl). Did the get B. J. Thomas in this because he sang "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" in the soundtrack for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? And hey - Howard Hesseman is in this very quickly as a bartender.
Based on the book by Milton R. Bass, this was directed by Jorge Fons, who would go on to make Red Dawn. The 1990 one, not the one you've seen! It was written by Gerald Helman and Robert Irving.
