Firecreek
Firecreek is a 1968 American Western film directed by Vincent McEveety and starring James Stewart and Henry Fonda, the latter in his first of two roles that year as a villain (the second being Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West). The film is similar to High Noon in that it features an entire town that refuses to help a peace officer against outlaws. Stewart plays an unlikely hero, forced into action when his conscience will not permit evil to continue. The supporting cast features Inger Stevens, Dean Jagger, Ed Begley, Jay C. Flippen, Jack Elam and John Qualen.
Offscreen close friends Stewart and Fonda's first film together had been in a section of the episodic musical comedy On Our Merry Way two decades earlier, in which they played two musicians named "Slim" and "Lank", and they would make The Cheyenne Social Club two years after Firecreek. They had also both appeared in How the West Was Won but had no scenes together despite their characters in the film being depicted as best friends.
Firecreek was partially filmed at North Ranch in Oak Park, California, and Thousand Oaks, California.
After years of backing away from criminals and gunfights, one resident of the small western town of Firecreek decides to fight back. Part-time sheriff Johnny Cobb decides to avenge the death of a young man against gunmen led by Bob Larkin.
Cobb has a lot on his mind, particularly with his wife Henrietta about to give birth. He is a peace-loving farmer whose childishly made sheriff's badge is practically an honorary one.
Larkin's men ride into town and disrupt the peace. Earl, Norman and Drew run roughshod over the local citizens and Larkin has no inclination to stop it, despite Cobb's requests. Larkin is more interested in getting to know an attractive widow named Evelyn.
The only person in town willing to help Cobb is a slow-witted stable boy named Arthur. When one of Larkin's men attacks a woman, Arthur kills the man.
Cobb's wife goes into labor and he has to leave town. While he is gone, Larkin's men hang Arthur and no one in the town tries to stop them.
