He’s befriended by Reese Ford and his wife Molly, but before long Molly has seduced Bickford.

Viewing Notes
Dennis Hopper is all kinds of great here as the kid. The whole movie is this lowkey late western / dark comedy. Fun supporting cast, too. Curious if this is where Rian Johnson got the idea for this character name.
