FISH HAWK A Young Boy Helps an Indian Regain His Self-Respect Will Sampson (One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Outlaw Josey Wales) is Fish Hawk, an Osage Indian whose self-respect is drowning in a sea of whiskey until he befriends young Corby Boggs (Charles Fields). Having lost his wife and son to smallpox many years ago, Fish Hawk gets by on odd jobs for which he’s usually paid with a jug, and Deut Boggs (Don Francks) hires him to hunt down a bear that’s killing his stock. Giving up whiskey after it costs him the dog that was his only companion, Fish Hawk spends the winter with the Boggses, but when a wild boar ravages the countryside it puts his friendship with Corby to the test. From the novel Old Fish Hawk by MITCHELL JAYNE Approximately 95 minutes Color
