Rating:
Sam Cade was the first feature-length "movie" put together from episodes of Cade's County, the early '70s series starring Glenn_Ford as a modern-day sheriff in Madrid County, CA. In the first half, directed by Marvin_Chomsky, Cade finds himself targeted for assassination when he's scheduled to testify in the trial of a mob kingpin -- what he doesn't know is that the assassin is one of his oldest friends (Darren McGavin), who is romancing another old friend (Loretta_Swit) with a troubled past and using Cade's determination and his investigative skills to set him up for a hit. In the second half, directed by Richard_Donner, Cade gets a tip that the mob has planned an assassination on a retired crime boss (Edward_Asner) living in the county, who is so bull-headed and distrustful of the law that he won't accept any help or provide any information on who the killers might be, even though he's putting his own daughter (Shelley_Fabares) at risk.
