I read in an old interview with Hugh O'Brian that he preferred Douglas Frowley.
Yes, he was, and the ending didn’t disappoint!
I agree.
That's because it was the premiere, I think! I have, in the past, watched other series which have done the same for the first episode. I will be pleasantly surprised if the remaining ones are as commercial free as the first was.
The best thing for me is the scenery, and, as with you, some of the subplots interest me, so I plan to keep watching. However, I will be recording it so I can fast forward through the many, many, many commercials!
If the story is a good one, I don’t care about the actors’ genders.
His voice and some of his mannerisms remind me a lot of his father, but physically I think they do have different looks.
Fanny Farmer was sort of the Martha Stewart of her day in the late 1800’s and was well known for a cookbook she published. Her fame continued even into the 1900’s, especially when chocolates featuring her name and likeness became popular.
I didn't care for her accent either. For the most part, I think she failed in trying to sound like Jackie. I was quite surprised that so many thought otherwise.
That line suited the pragmatic Hondo. I liked it, too, SusanJL.
I thought it was nicely done as well.
Hemmed in...I hadn't thought of that until you mentioned it. Good point...
I could only find one episode on YouTube and nothing else anywhere else. If you are more successful than I have been, I would love to know. I enjoyed the one I saw and want more!
Interesting...I read somewhere that Boone did just that with Hec Ramsey!
Well said! Black and white definitely suited Paladin and the many on location settings. It added nuances easily missed if HGWT had been filmed in color.
A large part of Boone's appeal as Paladin, for me, was the kind of man he portrayed, one with a strong moral code, believing in the law, and justice delivered according to that law. He treated people fairly, compassionately, and, even though he was cultured and intelligent, didn't look down on those who did not possess those traits. Who he was transcended what he looked like, and yet his physical appearance was in keeping with the two lives he lived. And yes, his smile was wonderful!
Your review expresses nicely the essence of the film and the book as well.
