Gene Evans gets Hoss to be Sheriff of a town rife with lawlessness. Evans is a minister who wants to see Trouble cleaned up. G. D. Spradlin gives the best performance of his career as the Deputy, who's worn down by all the resistance to civility. This movie balances whimsy with seriousness. One thing about this series is how much it was needed in the early 70s as the quality of television programming declined. It continued on with cast changes. Too bad David Canary endured a two season hiatus from the series. Still Mitch Vogel filled in well. He's absent in this movie. Yet Michael Landon and Lorne Green provide good support.
