Cast a Long Shadow

DramaWestern82 min

Audie Murphy is a hard-drinking drifter who inherits a large, debt-heavy ranch from the man who may have been his father. With no surname to stand on and plenty of doubt around him, he tries to sober up long enough to run the place and manage the cattle drive that might save it. Terry Moore co-stars as the young heir finds himself judged from all sides, with the ranch’s future tied to whether he can handle money, men, and the rivals who resurface when he starts trying to build a different life.
