I thought this was a review of that suspenseful 1974 movie with Sam Bottoms as a young gas station attendant who is hired as a hunting guide by wealthy lawyer Andy Griffith.<br /><br />When our future Matlock star accidentally shoots and kills a prospector, he knows his career will be over ... unless he eliminates the only witness, his morally upright young guide. As the older man turns on the younger man and stalks him through the desert, it was essentially a tale of man against man, but a suspenseful one at that. I remember future Rosco P. Coltrane (James Best) appeared as the local law and the wonderful Noah Beery also featured so it had a good cast in addition to a good story. Have you ever seen it?Varnsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102460227264259285noreply@blogger.com
