Synopsis

Directed by Peter Fonda, this low-key Western with breathtaking cinematography stars Peter Fonda as Harry Collings, a drifter and fellow drifter Arch Harris (Warren Oates). Harry Collings returns to his farm after a seven year absence and meets up again with his wife Hannah (Verna Bloom) whom he abandoned all those years ago. While working on the farm Harry and Hannah start to become attracted to one another again and arouse feelings in each other that have lain dormant for several years.
