A favorite book of mine that I read repeatedly during High School ('71 to '75). I was pleased when I heard it was being turned into a film but wary since Disney was the studio.I alway remember Royal Dano as the "The Lighting Rod Peddler" in Something Wicked this way Comes ~
Upon release, I was amazed at how the book's tone was captured, but felt Grier was probably not the best choice or just not well written. The boys were just fine and Robards and Pryce were perfect.
As with some of you, this was my first major exposure to Mr. Dano. I began paying attention to his appearances on TV and became a huge fan.
Since I enjoy westerns, I have seen him many times in my classic tv collection.
