The Painted Hills
PACKED WITH THRILLS!
Directed by Harold F. Kress
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A mid-century family adventure centered on a boy's bond with a loyal dog, tempered by themes of loss and betrayal but ultimately grounded in warmth and companionship.
After years of prospecting, Jonathan finally strikes gold. He returns to town only to discover that his partner has since died and left Tommy fatherless. He decides to leave Shep with Tommy to cheer him up. Meanwhile, Jonathan's new partner isn't interested in sharing the gold, and lures Jonathan to his death.
