Film Summary: Based on a true story, The Legend of Earl Durand tells the tale of an outlaw who evaded authorities in the wilds of Wyoming during the Great Depression. Earl Durand, dubbed “The Robin Hood of the Rockies,” became a folk legend through his rebellious resistance to injustice. This film dives into his mythic reputation, with strong performances and a gritty, historical Western tone.

Collector's Tip: Titles featuring Martin Sheen prior to his breakout in Apocalypse Now are becoming more collectable, especially those in unique Australian formats like this early '70s daybill.
