I'm trying to find a western that I watched on TV probably the the late 70's. I remember a sheriff, several men, and a woman in a white dress traveling through the desert, where two of the men die. At the end, the sheriff survives and carries the woman into a town, where he lays her down (in a saloon?) and walks off, flinging away his badge.

The sad thing is, I found the movie on youtube a long time ago but have since forgotten it yet again. Does this one ring a bell with anyone?

That's not much to go on. If you ever find it, write it down.
 
Lotsa Movie of the Week films were made back then. I know a good bit of Western movie trivia but yours escapes me.

Lotta eye-talian westerns hit the US market then too.

Your plot is sorta, kinda in the neighborhood of John Wayne's The Train Robbers. But still way off in plot.

Not Two Mules for Sister Sara with Clint Eastwood.

I give up.

Todd,

Was it this movie? I believe the woman in the movie is Gary Cooper's newlywed wife, thus the wedding dress.

Sometimes I forget what movie I'm watching when I drink too much of this:

Very similar in some ways! But that one has a big shootout in town and no desert crossing scenes. The one I'm thinking of has the sheriff walking off alone after reaching the town and placing the woman down, and I was always unsure if she had survived or not. Both films have the sheriff discarding his badge at the conclusion, but mine didn't have a happy ending vibe.
I'm thinking mine was also a bit newer, likely in color from the late 60's/early 70's.
Thanks for your input! I think every bit helps to jog the ol' memory a bit more.

Just wait.
With the lack of originality in Hollywood, someone will locate the plot, re-write it, get a couple of 'stars' to play lead and make it a hit
 
Like others, the plot outline rings no bells for me. Possibly some movie made for TV with no theatrical release? Or a single episode of a TV series? High Noon's plot is nothing like your description.
