From Noon till Three

From Noon till Three is a 1976 American Western film released by United Artists.

In the late 19th century American West, a gang of bank robbers, including Graham Dorsey (Charles Bronson), is off to rob a small-town bank, but Graham is having second thoughts: he's had a nightmare in which the gang was wiped out during the robbery attempt.

They try to steal a horse at the ranch of the widow Amanda Starbuck (Jill Ireland).

Graham checks out the barn and finds a horse, but still afraid of disaster, he lies to his men and agrees to wait three hours at the ranch for their return.

Graham eludes them when he comes upon a traveling dentist, exchanges clothes with him at gunpoint, and steals his horse and wagon.

This story forms the basis of a legend, one that spawns a popular book, From Noon Till Three, dime novels, a stage play, and even a popular song, "Hello and Goodbye," set to the tune of Amanda's music box.

A disguised Graham takes one of Amanda's guided tours of her ranch, and stays behind, intending to reveal himself.

He hears "their song" at a local saloon, and walks in on a stage production of From Noon Till Three.

Ultimately he is arrested and put in an insane asylum, where he meets the only people who believe him: his fellow inmates.
