Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here -Original MCA Home Video Release-

TELL THEM WILLIE BOY IS HERE, a modern western classic, is based on the true story of a Paulte Indian, named Willie Boy (Robert Blake) and his bride, Lola Boniface (Katharine Ross) who become the obects of the last great Western manhunt after he kills her father in a "marriage by capture." The manhunt, led by Under Sheriff Chistopher Cooper (Robert Redford) turns into a media circus when President Taft comes to visit the area and a mishap becomes twisted by the newspapers of the day. As the pressure builds, the events explode in the tragic deaths of Lola and Willie and a turning point in consciousness for Cooper. Released in 1969, TELL THEM WILLIE BOY IS HERE was a triumph for Redford and was called by Time Magazine, "A subtle intense document of racial persecution that stands as one of the finest films of the year."
