Robert Beckman

Veteran officer from the Confederacy who has seen the light, widower, kind but brave, takes twice-orphaned girl (who is wise beyond her years and PTSD doesn’t happen to good folks) to raise. Along the way, really bad guys get fittingly whacked after the obligatory horse wagon chase scene. Slick, can’t-lose formulas as have been well proven in countless feelies. You can save $16 and have a lot more fun seeing the same plot in the sublime glory of the fabulated “real West” by renting the John Wayne iteration of TRUE GRIT.
