I grew up watching Glenn Ford as Pa Kent in the 1978 Superman movie, and after watching The Man from the Alamo I can see why he was great as Superman's earth dad -- he knows how to play a tough man!
Glenn Ford's character John Stroud is branded an unpopular coward but that doesn't stop him from doing what he has to do; no matter what people think of his actions, he does what he believes is right, and that takes a tough man.
As is pointed out in the movie, it takes more nerve to go against the grain than to stay with the herd. This movie demonstrates that doing what looks wrong to others takes more guts than doing what others do, and it takes a tough man to do it.
