John O'Hanlan is a Texas cowboy who receives a letter from a Cheyenne lawyer telling him he's inherited something called The Cheyenne Social Club. Neither he nor his partner of ten years, Harley Sullivan, can figure out what he's inherited. Harley guesses that it is a saloon. In this 1970 movie, the two cowboys the long trek to Cheyenne to claim the inheritance. When they arrive at their destination, John finds out that he's inherited a brothel which is a well respected landmark among the men of Cheyenne. John incurs the wrath of the whole town when he decides to close it down and turn it into a boarding house. That is, until the lawyer tells him that it's The Cheyenne Social Club or nothing due to an agreement his deceased brother had with the railroad, whose right of way the house sits on. Trouble ensues when John kills a cowboy who beat up "one of his girls." The man's relatives, predictably, come to town to avenge the death of their beloved kin. Henry Fonda has been accused of over-acting in this movie actions fit the role of the character he's portraying and doesn't seem to be over-acting at all. His character talks all the way from Texas. There is a story that Mr. Fonda complained that he didn't have any lines in this part of the original script so it was rewritten but this can't be confirmed. James Stewart always puts in an excellent performance and does it again in this film. Sue Ane Langdon plays the bubbliest of the girls. There are also performances by John Dehner, Robert Middleton and Shirley Jones. This is a very enjoyable film. The wave files below will tell more of the story.
