Stranger on the Run

In 1885, alcoholic ex-con Ben Chamberlain (Henry Fonda) drifted into a New Mexico town, having promised a friend he’d contact his sister (Madlyn Rhue), a saloon girl with too many secrets. Well, he found her--lifeless--and he now had to race for the border, chased by a posse run by a bought-and-paid-for railroad deputy (Michael Parks) out to pin the murder on him. Don Siegel’s long-sought made-for-TV sagebrusher also stars Anne Baxter, Dan Duryea, Sal Mineo, Lloyd Bochner. 97 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; trailer.
