Dawn , The Fury Is Not a western. It's a para- psych Horror flick, with a great score by John Williams. Staring Amy Irving, and Andrew Stevens among others. BTW Lonely Are The Brave, is Kirk and Michaels favorite film. About the billing days in May Kirk was the productor and was to play The General (which Burt played ) Kirk gave him the part because he wanted him in the film. And the billing too.
Paul, Thank you for the info.
