Holden is perfect as the older,and not so wiser  of two cowboys running  from the law after robbing a bank in this sadly overlooked Western, rich in texture and smoothly directed.
The Moviemakers : 1971
Robins Nest Productions
Director: Ronald Saland
Cast:   
William Holden (himself)

        
           
Holden is a peaceful rancher, whose life is torn apart when his family is massacred  and his ranch destroyed by a gang of marauding outlaws. He puts together a group of  mean, lawless convicts to act as  his posse as he tracks down the  gang responsible for the death of his loved ones.
The film reunites Holden and Borgnine but the magic is not there. Susan Hayward (in her last film) is the only good thing in this  terrible Western filmed in Panavision  who bombed miserably.
