The Proud Rebel (1958)

In the aftermath of the American Civil War, a widower moves North in the hopes of finding a doctor who will operate on his mute son. In the mean time, he finds work in a spinster's ranch and helps her fight against her crooked sheep-raising neighbors.

Slightly ridiculous Western which nevertheless has some enjoyable moments. Its purported lesson is perhaps that, while sometimes you must put a price tag on things you thought you couldn't, what you get (or give) for free is in the end infinitely more valuable.

(I watched it in a bad pan-and-scan print, with poor definition and distorted colors.)
