What happens
Welcome to Hard Times is a 1967 American Western film written and directed by Burt Kennedy and starring Henry Fonda as the leader of a dying town that is too weak to stand up to a brute terrorizing the few remaining residents. It is based upon the 1960 novel by E. L. Doctorow. According to Kennedy "It has something of a cult following—it's a dark, dreary kind of a thing." He added Doctrow "came out in the press saying that it was the second-worst picture he'd ever seen. I was afraid to ask him what the first one was. I was afraid it was one of mine."
