Synopsis
Will Penny (1967) is an American western from Tom Gries that you can watch online on iFILM. Charlton Heston plays an aging, illiterate cowhand who has spent his whole life driving other men's cattle.
Hired to ride the line of a ranch, Will rides back to his mountain cabin to find a woman and her teenage son living in it — her guide to Oregon walked off and left them just as winter closes in. Unable to turn them out into the snow, he agrees to share the place until the thaw. Slowly, warily, two tired and guarded people start to mean something to each other. Meanwhile the vengeful clan of a half-mad preacher named Quint (Donald Pleasence) is on his trail.
This is a western with no swagger — about old age, having nothing, and a shot at love that arrives too late. Heston often called Will his favourite role. Watch for a young Lee Majors and Bruce Dern in early parts. Stream Will Penny (1967) online on iFILM.
