Have Gun Will Travel
Palladin's actor got shot by John Wayne in his final film The Shootist

Have to agree with you Nicky - horses probably have a better ratio of miles to the gallon.
The street where I live - now very much part of a built up suburb of Auckland is where my dad would travel with his horse and cart. The village itself had this kink in the main road and it is apparently because of the division of two farms. Progress eh!!

Afraid i have to differ with you ladies...... I always liked Blue boy in The High chaparel, my sister liked Manualito {sp!!}....and I LOVED the horses. ..........

When my numbers come up on the Lottery I`m definetly buying a horse....oh wants the usual...... the Sports car, and a nice boat, but me i just want a horse........


Nicky

Yes David I think you're right actually.

Pam.

Wasn't Hoss the brother of Little Joe in Ponderoza

mmmmmm....so let me work this out...all the fellas fancied Victoria and the ladies liked Manuellito, and no one fancied 'horse', ha ha!

Speak soon,

Pam.

Victoria was ok too

I always liked Manuelito in High Chapparal.

I also remember Sheb Woolley being in Rawhide
He sang : I told the witchdoctor ------- ooh aah walla walla bing bang

and he did the Purple Eater song as well. But Frankie Lane sang

head em up move em out Rawhide.

With Clint Eastwood's megastardom I sometimes wonder if he bought all those black and white episodes of Rawhide. In it he wasn't always the star or the centre of the story.

I also liked John and Buck in High Chapperal, wonder why they don't repeat these ?

Nudge.

We must be physic David (well it's deffinatly something mental with me!) I was listening to film tunes on You Tube the other evening and listened to a couple of the spaghetti western ones, great tunes!

Pam.

From Clint Eastwood's spaghetti western, For a Few Dollars More
the musical theme by Enrico Morricone is superb

He also did The Good, The Bad and The Ugly theme

In those westerns we are entertained with some fancy shooting of great accuracy.

The guns of that era were such you'd be lucky to hit your man never mind shoot the gun out of his hand.

The best revolver play I saw was Lee Van Cleef with his rifle extension to give him a greater range over Clint Eastwood and others

Raymond Burr was the bad guy in Rear Window - presume that would be before Perry Mason but not sure.

Will have to get Tombstone out of the video store. When we were in Tombstone my father went to one of those reenactment shows of the Gunfight at the OK Corral. He was a great western fan and in those days we had TV shows such as Laramie, Tombstone Territory, Maverick, Wyatt Earp, Gunsmoke etc and of course Clint Eastwood in Rawhide.

Dear All

Hello

Thank you Pam.....thoroughly enjoyed the film!

Hello David.................Raymond Burr was the baddie in a classic film noir called "Desperate" with Steve Brodie and Jason Robards. Very rarely shown on TV, though.

Best wishes

Did you know Raymond Burr's film career goes a lot further back than A Man Called Ironside and Perry Mason (great signature tune)

He played the heavy in films ans was even in westerns

Enjoy Steve tonight Elizabeth!!! ;•))
