THE YOUNG LAND

This “Sincere western…” (according to Leonard Maltin), set in 1848 California, stars Patrick Wayne as a lawman with high morals and co-stars Dennis Hopper as a rebellious gunslinger. Hopper goes on trial for killing a young Mexican, which tests the American system of justice in the newly formed state. Produced by John Ford’s son, who brought together an excellent supporting cast of Hollywood extras. Features a great western score, with composer Dimitri Tiomkin and songwriter Ned Washington garnering a Best Song Nomination at the 1959 Academy Awards.
