The Grey Fox
In 1901, after 33 years in San Quentin Prison, Bill Miner, "The Gentleman Bandit", was released into the Twentieth Century.
Directed by Phillip Borsos
Produced by Mercury Pictures, David Brady Productions
A melancholic character study of an aging outlaw struggling to find purpose in a world that has moved on without him, caught between nostalgia for the past and the inevitability of change.
Old West highwayman Bill Miner, known to Pinkertons as "The Gentleman Bandit," is released in 1901 after 33 years in prison. A genial and charming old man, he re-enters a world unfamiliar to him, and returns to the only thing that gives him purpose — robbery.
