For billing purposes Walter Brennan is the star of The Young Country, a made for
TV western. But the actual stars are Peter Deuel, Roger Davis, and Joan Hackett a
trio of confidence workers operating in the old west.
The amusement value of this film is of the chuckle rather than the belly laugh kind of humor. The two men get a hold of a lot of money Wally Cox embezzled from the bank he worked at. They're working at cross purposes and then discover that seemingly goody two shoes Joan Hackett has been conning them both.
The film served as the pilot for the Alia Smith And Jones western series where Ben Murphy replaced Roger Davis. And then ironically when Peter Deuel committed suicide Davis replaced Deuel.
The western holds up well after 50 years, western fans will enjoy.
