Evil Roy Slade is a 1972 made-for-television Western/Comedy film. It's something of a Cult Classic, being only shown on tv for decades until its recent release on DVD. You can also see the movie in its entirety at YouTube. Here is Part 1.
It tells the story of the eponymous outlaw, Evil Roy Slade (John Astin in one of his best performances), who gets a lot of enjoyment robbing everyone in town and killing people just for pleasure. And this was all because he was abandoned as an infant and left to fend for himself in the wild after an attack from Indians. His lawless life suddenly begins to change when he falls for a beautiful schoolteacher named Betsy Potter. By that time, Slade begins to question his position as being a no-good rotten outlaw. To make matters worse, he is also the intended target of Nelson L. Stoole, a railroad tycoon, and his Dumb Muscle nephew, Clifford, as revenge for Slade robbing him previous times. Also wanting to turn in Slade is a retired former marshal by the name of Bing Bell.
•Admiring the Abomination: When Roy is arrested and sentenced to hanging, he watches the construction of the scaffold and the selling of Evil Roy Slade Hanging Dolls with considerable amusement. He's also impressed by the reach of Nelson P. Stoole's business interests:
•Affably Evil: Bing Bell turns out to be this in the climax.
•Alliterative Name: Bing Bell
•Animal Reaction Shot: While Bing Bell is singing, the animals seen reacting to his singing are; a deer, some prairie dogs, marmots, a squirrel, a porcupine and a great horned owl.
•Badass Mustache: Roy sports an impressive one.
•Bully Bulldog: Custer is an aversion.
