I remember all the sons until the end


What happened to the Earl Holliman character? The others were there at the end.

He was killed by a piece of wood that pierced his body in the shootout and explosion under the bridge.

I remember this really affecting me, because it was the first time I"d seen a "movie" death when the character doesn't get to say something profound. Very realistic, even now.

"I thought you was dead" - "Not hardly"
