This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
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.
