The Bad Man's First Prayer
Driven to drink by poverty brought upon by the long illness of his wife, Joe Selling, a western miner, spends most of his time at the village bar, where one day his daughter Alice enters and pleads with him to come home. She is thrust aside by the brutal bartender, who orders her to leave the place when Dan Quigley, a rather shady character, takes her part, thrusts the bartender aside, and helping Joe to his feet, leads him out of the place and home. At home Alice pleads with both men to reform, but her father is obstinate and Dan says he is "too bad."

Reviews
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
