The Grey Fox Movie Review 1983

Based on the true story of Canada's most colorful and celebrated outlaw. Gentlemanly old stagecoach robber Bill Miner (Farnsworth) tries to pick up his life after 30 years in prison. Unable to resist another heist, he tries train robbery, and winds up hiding out in British Columbia where he meets photographer Kate Flynn (Burroughs), come to document the changing West. Farnsworth is perfect as the man who suddenly finds himself in the 20th century trying to work at the only craft he knows. Borso's first feature film after his work as a documentary filmmaker.
