The Walt Disney Company produced the western comedy-drama Scandalous John in 1971.
Direct by: Robert Butler
Starring: Brian Keith and Alfonso Arau
Synopsis:
The 79-year-old John McCanless, a rip-snorting western rancher, goes on a cattle drive (with one cow) and does battle against a wealthy, land-grabbing industrialist with his pretty granddaughter, ugly horse, scrawny herd, and puniest companion, a Mexican handyman. Ultimately, the rancher faces the villain in a gunfight that echoes the classic struggle between good and evil in the Old West after an exciting (and funny) journey in the style of Don Quixote.
Scandalous John
- -A crotchety old ranch owner fights to be able to live his life the way he wants to, and not the way other people--and the law--tell him he has to.
