Allison Hayes in Wolf Dog

 

Allison Hayes plays a wife and mother in WOLF DOG (1958). The film synopsis on IMDb as follows: "Just paroled from a prison term for manslaughter, ex-Marine Jim Hughes makes a new start with his wife Ellen and ten-year-old son Paul, on a ranch given him by his old Corps commander. Krivak, a vicious neighbor, threatens to take the land away from him after Jim refuses to sell. He instigates a fight between his dog Thunder and Paul's much smaller dog, which is killed. Later, the grieving Paul finds a wild puppy, half dog and half wolf, and Jim lets him keep it. Preparing to take his herd to market, Jim finds his fences cut and his herd stolen. He is accosted by two escaped convicts, Trent and Hawkins, who knew Jim in prison, and they force him to take them in. Trent sends Paul into town for some medicine, where his now-grown dog, Wolf Dog, and Thunder get into a fight and Thunder is killed. Krivac goes to the ranch gunning for Jim."

Film stars Jim Davis (TV show Dallas as the patriarch of the Ewings and starred in many John Wayne films) as Jim Hughes, Allison Hayes as Ellen Hughes and the son is played by Tony Brown as Paul Hughes. It is a pretty good movie. Jim Davis was sure young and in his prime and Allison Hayes played the good wife and mother quite well. I think I watched this on Youtube.
