   I am thinking of a film, and this is the scene I remember:   
      
   western movie, ex-gunfighter dances with homesteader's wife on July 4,   
   children set of firecrackers, kills hired gun.   
      
   If you Google, the first hit is "Shane", which is the movie I was   
   thinking about.  The information I put in is "complete".
