Based on the true story of Bill Miner (Farnsworth), a gentleman bandit of the Wild West at loose ends after serving 33 years in jail for stagecoach robbery. Finally free at the start of the 20th Century, he finds himself drifting until, one day, he sees The Great Train Robbery (1903), the first great silent-era Western movie. Inspired, Miner goes back to what he does best: robbery. Only instead of stagecoaches, he moves on to trains. Beautifully recreated period detail and cinematography of the Pacific Northwest by Frank J. Tidy would make The Grey Fox a wonderful film to see in any case. Making it exceptional is the charming and charismatic performance of Farnsworth, who makes you care about the fate of this aging train robber.

Winner of seven Genies, including Best Picture, Actor and Director.
