A superb mix of comedy and drama in this story of a terminally ill man Halstead Johnson (Roberts Blossom) who gets his buddy Dub Farley (Rip Torn) to bust him out of the hospital and in the process antagonises a city policeman, who trails them to the mountains surrounding their hometown. The local sheriff and their lady friend Mae Baxter (Beverly Garland) who both think more kindly of the pair, strive to find the fugitives before the less-compassionate posse, which includes a deranged, rifletoting enemy of the two who s clearly out for revenge. Tears of joy and sadness will abound in this emotional rollercoaster of a movie.
