HAWMPS! (Help, Get me out of this movie!)

Jack Elam did not need props to steal a scene, but give him a bush of a beard and a dozen guns and stand aside, partner, there is no sharing in this scene. 

Mr. Elam played Bad Jack Cutter in Hawmps! (1976), about camels being tested for use in the U.S. Cavalry in the 1850's.  Doesn't ring a bell, eh?  Even with big-time western supporting actors Chill  Wills and Denver Pyle being featured players, no amount of screen stealing could save this movie (5.4 rating on IMDB). 

I have actually seen Hawmps!  I don't remember it all too well, but I am quite certain Chill and Denver did not appear in a scene with Mr. Elam.  Smart guys.
