On reflection, I'm reasonably certain that "Bother!" is a euphemism for "****".

mr. runion;
A postscript to my previous message; TCM has an _extensive_ synopsis on the film you named.
Log on to the front page of the TCM site. At the top, just under the word "WALLPAPER", enter the film's title in the white strip, and proceed from there. The directions will take you to the site for the movie, and then you scroll down past the data and credits to a synopsis that looks to be at least 1000 words long. Sorry I didn't think of this before. Good luck.

Acceptable answer with one slight quibble. The addition of the woman and the orphaned boy had turned Jeremiah into a happy and functional family man. He shaved when he noticed the red marks on her lower face -- the result of their passion. Indeed he did stop shaving after losing his
family.
You're up, if you want to pose a question.

Attn: mr.runion, esq;
1. 1958's *Step Down To Terror* has a site on IMDb. I can't pull that "post a link" manouver, but you can find your way there if you like.
2. Stalwart Charles Drake and a pre-fame Rod Taylor are in the cast.
3. It is considered a remake of Hitchcock's 1848 opus *Shadow Of A Doubt*.
I got this from about fifteen minutes of research. There may be more sources you can trace down -- biographies of the actors involved. other movie fan sites, etc. To me the most interesting point was that Charles Drake had _ever_ been star-billed.
Good luck.

Thank you, Dan;
One little issue with your last post: I disagree that Stewart "SHOULD HAVE" missed in this incident. The Wilke character was a violent thug who enjoyed beating up women, and who had
practiced his fetish on the girls at the "social club". That was the background of this showdown, and Stewart's life was at stake. It was a righteous kill, albeit a comically lucky one -- the poorer
gunman won.
My own enjoyment of this scene is rooted in the career of Robert J. Wilke. He was one of the "face more familiar than his name" support players. It often seemed his lot to spend mimimal time on screen (often less than thirty speeches per script, is my impression), and to get killed by big-name stars. Grace Kelly shot him in the back in *High Noon*; in *The Magnificent Seven*, he insisted on a duel using his pistol, and James Coburn killed him with a switchblade. And in the present instance *Social Club* marks the third of three (count'em 3) times that he was killed by James Stewart. It had happened previously in *The Far Country* and *Night Passage*. And
there could be others that I'm not aware of.
*Anyway, another question:*
A legendary frontiersman spends most of the movie that tells his story wearing a beard. But at one point, for a specific reason, he shaves his face clean. At a later point in the story, he lets the beard grow back, and he is still wearing it at the end of the film. Who is it, and what changed his grooming habits?

That would be Corey Bannister's (Robert J. Wilke) death at the hands of James Stewart in
*The Cheyenne Social Club*, ja?
Wilke and Stewart are facing off in a bar, all patrons watching. Wilke is almost certainly the better gunman -- certainly the more experienced. Henry Fonda, one of the observers, is noshing on pecans. With tension at the max, Fonda squeezes two pecans together, cracking them. Wilke mistakes the sound for that of a pistol being cocked; he draws his own pistol and points in that direction, then corrects himself when he sees no threat from that quarter.. By that time, Stewart has cleared leather, and he blows Wilke away. Gene Kelly directed this, and it is the only homicide by pecan that I'm aware of .
That it?
