Saddle the Wind (1958)

Directed by Robert Parrish

Brothers and cattlemen in the old West, stoic Robert Taylor and hotheaded, younger John Cassavetes face off from opposite sides of an ideological chasm: is the West a place of honor or of violence? Saloon singer Julie London witnesses their struggle, knowing it must end sadly but wishing otherwise. The open prairie forms a surprising but fitting crucible for Serling’s distinctive brand of moral drama.
