James Stewart. Strother Martin and Kurt Russell are fresh out of prison in 1935 West Virginia. They're put on a train out of town. James Stewart is given a cashier's check for $25,000 which is what he was paid over forty years for his prison labor. Corrupt prison official George Kennedy is out to finish them off so the corrupt bank president won't have to pay out the money.
Anne Baxter as a patriotic down-on-her-luck prostitute. Katherine Cannon as a teen forced into prostitution.
The Big Lebowski's David Huddleston as the corrupt banker.
They ex-convicts are driven out of town. Stewart and Martin are going to use the money to open a store together. I'm not sure what Kurt Russell's role was in this.
I never heard of. It was nice-looking. It looked like 1935 to me, but I'm not sure how plausible the ending was. James Stewart's last movie for several years while he went to work on TV.
James Stewart walking into a bank with dynamite strapped to his body didn't have the same associations in 1971 that it does today.
Free on Tubi.
