Will Penny
He was a peaceful man. But he could kill! He was a hard man. But he could smile! He was a shy and lonely man. But he could love!
Overview
Will Penny, an aging cowpoke, takes a job on a ranch which requires him to ride the line of the property looking for trespassers or, worse, squatters. He finds that his cabin in the high mountains has been appropriated by a woman whose guide to Oregon has deserted her and her son. Too ashamed to kick mother and child out just as the bitter winter of the mountains sets in, he agrees to share the cabin until the spring thaw. But it isn't just the snow that slowly thaws; the lonely man and woman soon forget their mutual hostility and start developing a deep love for one another.

**_Realistic Western about an Aging Cowboy's Last Chance at Love & Family_** Charlton Heston stars as loner Will Penny, an aging cowboy who takes a winter job riding line on a vast ranch. He runs afoul of a family of psychotic rawhiders while discovering love and a sense of family for the first time in his nigh fifty years of life. "Will Penny" (1967) gives the viewer a good peek at what it must have been like to be a cowboy out West in the late 1800s. Needless to say, the lifestyle is any…

He is the eponymous gent working with his pals “Blue” (Lee Majors) and “Dutchy” (Anthony Zerbe) on an huge range where they are supposed to chase away any undesirables they encounter. That’s all going fine until “Blue” bags himself an elk. Dinner think they. I think not says preacher “Quint” (Donald Pleasence) as he and his gang of meandering hoodlums engage in a bit of a shoot out. The three know …
