Timothy Booher, of Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: Stuck in the desert with no water in site, Favor sends Rowdy ahead to scout for water. He finds no water but a much smoother trail with vegetation that he believes will lead to a lake. He also encounters Lew Bowdark, a mustanger with a knowledge of cattle, and he hires him on the spot, a mistake he will soon regret.
Bowdark was once a trail boss who had lost a herd in the San Marcos desert and wants his chance to prove that the impossible drive across the bone dry desert can be accomplished. He is willing to stop at no end to achieve this goal. When Favor is injured in an accident, Bowdark sets about using his evil plan against the wishes of Rowdy, who thinks he knows a better way but doesn't have the confidence to go against Favor and Bowdark.
Review: As the sixth season begins, the series has lost none of its grit. Neville Brand returns to the series, giving a stellar performance as the supremely evil Lew Bowdark. This one is extremely well written and the scene where the drovers find the graveyard full of cow bones is one of the most well executed in series history. Similar to the episode "The Sendoff" from season four, but lacking in sympathy for the conniving guest character. Superb edge of your seat entertainment.
Note: The opening credits now feature silhouettes of the actors as their names and characters are introduced.

Roger Beacon, of Kent Ohio, writes:
A Commanche named Joseph unleashes the ramuda during a rainstorm, the horses run off, and the next day Joseph brings the ramuda into camp and asks for a job. Rowdy (being shorthanded due to the death of a drover) signs up Joseph to help. Gil comes into camp with Army Colonel Macklin and his sargent. Colonel Macklin is suspicious of the Indian, but Gil says give him a chance. It seems that the Colonel had led a troop at the Battle of the Washita. As the drive proceeds the drovers run into a large Commanche band led by old chief Yellow Elk. The colonel asks where Iron Bull (Joseph) is located. Yellow Elk says they want peace. The braves show up and try and imtimidate the drovers. Several Indians charge down the hill and one of the drovers kills an Indian youth who has no gun. Later, the drover who killed the Indian boy is killed - in camp. The Indians make the demand they will let the herd go through if Gil turns the Major over to the Indians. Meanwhile Joseph saves the sargent's life and demands the colonel tell the story of the Washita (a massacre). Joseph and the drovers realize the Colonel's mind is gone and Joseph negotiates with the braves to take the army personnel to the next fort. Joseph wants to come back and learn 'white man's ways' to preserve the Indian through change and education

Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: Pretty Rose Cornelius and her brood of brothers attempt to stop Favor and company from crossing a fenced-off section of the trail of which they claim ownership. Romance blossoms between Rose and Mr. Favor, but the stubborn girl won't budge, not even when the trail boss temporarily becomes the new town sheriff and obtains legal rights to cut down the Cornelius fence.
Review: Those were the days, when a trail boss had to choose duty and honor over love and personal need. Blah! Elizabeth Montgomery does a good job comically as well as dramatically in a good pre-Bewitched role as a spunk-driven gal of the plains who likewise chooses conviction over her love and passion. Although this episode boasts several good scenes, including a fight between Favor and a much larger Cornelius brother, which he wins only after cheating, the earlier chemistry and grit is gleefully absent. The show is much lighter now and lacking the brutal edge of the earlier years or for that matter of "Red Wind" and "Iron Bull" only several weeks previous. A nice try at a romantic oater which doesn't entirely fail.
Side Note: Montgomery's future Bewitched co-star Dick York was only several weeks away from making a second guest appearance on the show in "Confidence Creek." He can also be seen in season three's "Broken Word".

Myron King, of Waco, TX:
The drive is stopped by the Cornelius family, headed by brassy Rose Cornelius. She tangles with Favor and later falls in love with him. Gil seriously thinks about quitting the drive and settling down.
Elizabeth Montgomery gives a fine performance as Rose, and there is a good score by Nathan Scott. Buddy Baer does a good job as well. However, this script seems to be another attempt of a comic nature. Come to think of it, under Vincent Fennelly the series seem to feature more shows with humor than Charles Marquis Warren or Endre Bohem. Could it be that Fennelly was following orders from CBS executive Hunt Stromberg, who thought the series needed more humor?

4. Incident of the Travelin' Man [TOP]
|
Philip Lindley, England:
A traveling Tennessee sharecropper with leg-irons on his ankle and a chip on his shoulder is found half-dead by the drovers. Favor and Rowdy are suspicious from the first, but decide to give him the benefit of the doubt until they reach the next town. The man soon becomes popular with the drovers, dripping homespun wisdom and leading the camp-fire singing. When three brothers appear to charge the man with double murder, Favor still insists that the law be allowed to take its course, and confrontation seems inevitable. The man makes his own move and leaves Wishbone for dead before disappearing into the night. Blaming hismelf, Favor rides after him and a dramtic shoot-out up in the rocks is followed by a brutal fist-fight. (The editing of this scene is oddly elliptical and untypical of the show.) Much the worse for wear, Favor returns to inform the drovers and the vengeance-seeking brothers that their man is in custody. Simon Oakland is on excellent form as the treacherous guest with his own flint-hearted philosophy. Action is nicely balanced with close drama in an above-average episode.

Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: Rowdy saves the life of homesteader Mathew Higgins when the two young Johansen boys have him treed and are about to shoot the branches out from under him. Higgins and the Johansen family are embroiled in a land dispute, and Rowdy's intervention doesn't make him very popular in the largely pro-Johansen town of Paradise. Favor and the whole crew become involved unintentionally and when it looks as though the entire Higgins faction along with Favor and his men are doomed, a nearby dam bursts and the two groups are thrust into a situation where they must work together.
Review: Burgess Meredith makes his second of several Rawhide appearances as the stubborn Higgins, a man who values justice and equality over personal safety, giving a satisfying performance. Arch Johnson, a well known character actor in his day, who was never seen on Rawhide in its earlier days but became an occasional during the 5th and 6th seasons, is the bullheaded Johansen, and a young Beau Bridges turns up as his cocky son. While the characters here are well written and interpreted, they are becoming more typical of the genre and straying further from the offbeat variety encountered by the drive during its earlier days. Still, a very fine story with some irony and humor to accentuate it.
Note: Johansen was the name of the rancher that Clint Eastwood's character was accused of murdering in the film 'Hang em High'.

Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: Aging cattle baroness Elizabeth Farragut makes a deal with Favor, allowing his herd to cross her land only on the condition that her trouble-making grandson Billy is allowed to join the drive. Billy needs discipline, and she feels Favor is just the man to dish it out. Once he joins, Billy predictably becomes a problem to everyone except Mushy, himself a troubled loner.
Review: Finally. It's about time someone had the bright idea to do a story about Mushy that wasn't all comedy. Frankie Avalon is decent in this tale, though at times it seems as though he would like to trade in his saddle for a surfboard. Avalon and James Murdock do strike up a certain chemistry together and really do seem to gain an admiration of one another. A thoroughly watchable episode, but I only wish that the writers had found something to throw up in Favor's way besides another damn fence.
|
Myron King, Waco, Texas:
Review: Elizabeth Farragut strikes a deal with Favor that will allow the herd to cross her land. But there's a condition. Favor is to take her cocky grandson, Billy, with the drive. He causes problems for the drive, but strikes a friendship with Mushy.
This is a good episode, but not especially great. Frankie Avalon and James Murdock do a great job with their characters. Glenda Farrell's performance was good as well. I would rather have seen more shots of the cattle rather than taking the story into town for a few minutes.

Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: Rowdy Yates goes a round with an aging Irish prize fighter and wins. After an argument with his manager the fighter leaves to join the herd, his destination the place where his son is buried deep in Indian territory. In his possession is a strange artifact, a hand carved tombstone.
Review: The last time Gil Favor and Rowdy Yates came into contact with an Irish boxer it was in season two's "Incident of the Shambling Man," guest starring the legendary Victor McLaglen. That was a fine episode, as is this one. A unique story unlike any done by Rawhide before or after is enhanced by the first voice over narration opening since season three, when Favor stopped reading from his diary. This time the narration is done by actor Bill Travers, who gives an excellent performance as the Irishman who jeopardizes the lives of everyone in his company to be able to deliver a hand carved tombstone to his son's grave. A heck of a good episode and one of the absolute finest from the final seasons of Rawhide. Once again, another excellent show passed up by CBS for Collectors Edition Videotape status. It certainly belongs amongst any listing of Rawhide's best episodes from the entire series run.

Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: After a bullet ricochets off a bell and accidentally kills a bystander during a boredom-induced drover prank, the dead man's brother vows revenge, placing a curse upon all involved. Later, the same man turns up at the herd claiming to have changed his mind about vengeance. He follows the herd, allegedly to keep his three vengeful outlaw brothers from catching up and doing harm. However when bad luck begins to befall the perpetrator of the crime, a drover named Rabbit, the guilty drover begins to fall victim to his own conscience, and a grisly truth is revealed in which the accident turns out to but anything but what it had originally seemed.
Review: When viewed superficially, this episode seems to be nothing more than a rehash of 'Incident With an Executioner', complete with the original executioner. However, this is a multifaceted episode which demands a lot of attention from the viewer. Watch closely and you will be rewarded. Dan Duryea makes his third appearance on the show. In the original 'Executioner' he manages to convey a certain silent menace by speaking few lines. In this one he has plenty to say, and while most of his lines are cornpone, he nonetheless develops a much fuller character, and his motives are more clearly outlined here than in the previous outing. The real scene stealer here, however, is Warren Oates as Rabbit, the doomed, guilt-racked drover. With his carefree smile and easygoing charm, Oates manages to extract his revenge and goes to his grave not knowing for certain if he has done the right thing. His motivation for committing murder and his method of execution are brilliantly scripted and plotted, leaving the thought-provoking question, was it justice or murder? While this episode doesn't necessarily top the more well-known and acclaimed original, it is equally as good and certainly a whole lot more well defined in its character studies of Duryea and Oates. A great example of how a rewrite can sometimes spawn a lot of creativity on its own.

Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: Itinerate schemer Elwood P. Gilroy poses as Favor to gain control of the herd and resells it at a profit. Rowdy tracks Gilroy with the help of his girlfriend. The trail leads to a small town where Gilroy is posing as a fearless lawman.
Review: A rather stilted comedy with the always pleasant Dick York leading the proceedings in fine form. In his first Rawhide appearance (Incident of the Broken Word), York delivered a very affecting performance as a wild eyed alcoholic. Here he does nothing more than extract a few laughs. Stella Stevens guests as Gilroy's girlfriend. Overall nothing special. The combination of guest stars here has seen that this episode was released on video by Columbia over many better episodes that were far superior.
|
Myron King, of Waco, TX:
A man tricks the drovers by stealing the ownership papers of the herd. It's up to the drovers to prove that Elwood P. Gilroy is not the owner.
If you miss this episode, don't worry, for this is another attempt at Maverick-ized humor. Dick York and Barbara Eden give sincere performances, but that's not enough to save this episode. Not as bad as Damon's Road, though, but bad enough!
AN OBSERVATION: Incident at Confidence Creek was aired as scheduled on November 28, 1963, almost a week following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. Rawhide aired on Thursdays at this time and, thus, was one of the shows not affected by the pre-emption of regular programming. Even though this episode, like other drama and comedy shows, aired three days following President Kennedy's funeral, I wonder if the country was really in the mood for light-hearted comedy, let alone drama? My guess is that the nation really wasn't ready. On the other hand, life had to go on, for that is what the late President would have wanted people to do. November 28 was Thanksgiving Day.

Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: Mushy is attacked by an escaped circus lion, which is being tracked by Dan Carlock, who joins the herd. The lion has picked up the scent of Carlock's coat, and the hunter wants to use Mushy and the coat in a bizarre scheme to extract revenge upon the cat who killed his wife years before.
Review: Another bent schemer puts innocent lives in danger in a well written episode. Legendary Forrest Tucker, soon to lead television's F-Troop, makes his only guest appearance on the show as Carlock. This is made from the best stuff Rawhide had to offer and has all the ingredients of many classic earlier episodes. The only reason it rates four cows instead of five is because of a limited amount of character development allotted to the talented and legendary Tucker. Still, a mighty fine and suspenseful episode.

Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: After accidentally winning a poker game, Mushy is followed back to the herd by female cardsharp Lorelei, who demands a rematch. At first he declines, but after a disagreement with an angry Favor he begins to believe that the evil money he has won has brought misfortune to the herd. He returns, hoping to lose the game, but once again he wins, nearly bankrupting Lorelei and her saloon. Rowdy and Wishbone show up in town to stop the game while Mushy is still ahead, but scheming Lorelei has them both thrown in jail to prevent interference. The drovers are freed from jail and with Mushy's help they teach Lorelei a lesson, only to learn one themselves when wealthy but honest Mushy decides to donate all of his money to a local church instead of investing it, as they had hoped.
Review: After two excellent dramatic outings, Mushy comes back to his traditional comedic setting. Actually a quite well scripted comedy which makes a strong statement about the purity and innocence of the seemingly mentally challenged. (In today's world Mushy would most likely be deemed borderline mentally retarded.) James Murdock gives his usual excellent reading of wholesome Mushy, but I can't help wonder how the 35-year-old actor felt about having the most basic facts of life told to him by older but not necessarily wiser Wishbone. A fine little gem from the Rawhide comedy department.

Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: The drovers find and take in a half crazed woman who mumbles in an incoherent language and keeps referring to Rowdy as Jason. What they don't know is that the woman is hunted by Indians who think she is a witch and want to burn her at the stake.
Review: The psychological western is at its peak form in this one. Several excellent performances here, and Eastwood gets to play two parts for the first time in series history, as Rowdy and Jason, the woman's deceased husband in a flashback scene. Royal Dano makes his return to the series as the Bible-beating reformed sinner who fails his calling to save his own skin and winds up paying a heavy price. Susan Kohner is also a brilliant talent as Abby. She spends nearly the entire episode using the line 'Whisky Weedle'(?). The script here is written by Carey Wilbur, a fine writer of western films, teleplays, and novels, and the direction is first rate, coming from Mr. Post, the one director who stayed with the show the longest and directed the most episodes. Another fine episode and very reminiscent of 'Incident of the 100 Amulets' from season two.

Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: After nearly falling off a cliff, Wishbone is sent into a state of shock which causes blindness. A doctor provides insight which reveals that his mind has reverted back to a time in his childhood in which he had nearly been scared to death. All the drovers attempts to find ways to help their cook regain his sight are in vain. The only way he'll ever be able to see again is for something to happen in which he is shocked out of his current state of fear. Inevitably it does, and Wishbone becomes a braver, stronger man in the process.
Review: For the Wishbone fan perhaps this one comes dear to the heart. The beloved, whiskered sourdough gives an engaging performance, and the dream sequence here is one of the best and most surreal ever put on film. A well directed and acted episode.
|
Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: After capturing a would-be horse thief, the drovers are about to bring him to town when Wishbone frees him at gunpoint and leaves the herd with the thief for parts unknown. Their relationship is revealed in a flashback taking place fifteen years earlier which involves the thief, a much younger Wishbone, and an allegedly dead girl.
Review: Quite excellently scripted and providing much character insight into Wishbone. Actor Paul Brinegar, who was never in reality quite as old as the character he played on screen, gives a dynamic performance as a self-assured, younger Wish, and John Dehner is, as always, riveting as the old friend who comes back to haunt him. Of note, Sally Forest returns to the series in a rather good turn as Wishbone's former love interest, also aging back and forth in time. She can also be seen in season 1's 'Incident of the Widowed Dove'. Another fine episode.

Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: Favor tries unsuccessfully to stop a mob of mask-wearing vigilantes from lynching one of his drovers and is horse whipped for his trouble. The next day he returns to the town of Zebulon to even up the score, but is he out for justice or revenge?
Review:Rawhide's version of 'The Ox Bow Incident' is a strange mixture of cartoonish and very juvenile stereotypes and hard-edged drama. The masked men who seek justice where there is none theme, so prevalent in B-westerns of the 1940's, is turned inside out and backward here in an episode where no one is quite what they seem. Just when Favor becomes almost a soap dish hero in white, Wishbone arrives in town to provide him with a moment where he questions his motivations. A very good episode, though not Emmy material, but try to get past the lynching scene where Favor looks as though he has accidentally stumbled into the Klan scene from the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". As a side note, female viewers who were left disappointed by the averted whipping scene from 'Incident of the Power and the Plow' are treated to a brief sanitized lashing of Favor. Actor John Lupton who plays the sheriff in this one was previously the star of the western series 'Broken Arrow'.
|
Myron King, of Waco, TX:
Pan Macropolis joins the drive. He is a happy, enthusiastic man who becomes friendly with the drovers, who are overworked, even though they are getting extra pay. Macropolis influences Favor to share with the drovers why they are being overworked. Later, Macropolis plays a piano accompaniment to a beautiful but bitter singer.
This story has more than one plot to it, and that hurts the episode. Still, Favor shares with all the drovers why he is pushing the men so hard, and that makes up somewhat for the story's shortcomings. Mickey Rooney is excellent as Pan Macropolis.
|
Doris Herman, Seffner, FL:
Synopsis: The episode opens with a lightning bolt causing a stampede. A distraught Favor is pursuaded to ride into Ashton Corners for supplies and rest.There he runs into Mirabelle, a former singer at the Red Diamond Bar who has married the town banker, Mr. Albert Ashton-Warner. The banker is a would be cowboy who gives Favor a loan, then proceeds to hit Gil over the head with a gun, stealing the money. He then talks Gil into trading places with him so that his dream of being a trail boss is realized. The switch is a disaster both at the bank and with the herd. Gil unhatches a plot with the help of Albert's wife and the drovers to return to status quo. Review: An enjoyable comedic episode directed by Christian Nyby with guest stars Lola Albright as the banker's wife and Allyn Joslyn as the Banker. We initially see the boss stating "there are times when I'm sick to death of this job" and kicking the coffee pot. Fleming cuts a fine figure in his office attire, much !
different than his usual duds. Ashton-Warner who vows to be a "seasoned Galahad of the prairie" calls a parliamentary procedure meeting with the drovers and sets up an office under a tree. At Gil's urging, the drovers try to train the would be trail boss. Meanwhile, our replacement banker is threatened by a run on the bank and tells Belle, "Don't try to outshout me, lady". Finding a plan to right the situation, Gil tells Ashton-Warner that to gain the respect of the men it is traditional to spend the last night before a trail drive drinking red eye and taking a look at the dancing girls. While some Rawhide episode efforts at comedy do not succeed, I find this one most entertaining.

Timothy Booher, of Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: With his cattle stampeding for no apparent reason and one of his drovers killed, a burned-out, distraught Gil Favor has had enough of cattle driving and wants a vacation. He talks Rowdy into taking the herd, and just as he is about to leave he discovers the reason behind the stampedes. The drive has reached the territorial grounds of a wild bull named El Toro, who is spooking the tame cattle with his surly presence. A smart-alecky drover named Fuller who doesn't get along with Favor is chosen to hunt the bull down but he fails to do so, choosing to go to a nearby town for some R'n'R. When a furious Favor finds out about Fuller's activity, he fires him and gives him a choice of riding away without pay or earning his money by hunting down El Toro. When Fuller is gored to death by the bull, Favor has finally had enough. Feeling guilty, he quits his job, leaving the herd in the hands of Rowdy and Clay, who stall the drive's progress for days at a dangerous river crossing. Meanwhile, the AWOL Mr. Favor has gone on a hunt for El Toro, aided by Hey Soos, who feels guilty that he has seen both his brother and Fuller killed by wild bulls and has run away in fear.
Review: Like many later episodes when the series began to run out of fresh ideas and fall into a rut, rather than fall back on doing the kind of stale stories typical of the fourth season, the producers chose to re-do some of their episodes with slight variations. This episode could be called "Incident of the Stalking Death Part II". While Eric Fleming does a great job as an emotionally distraught Favor almost on the point of crying, and James Best, with his comical style that was obviously influenced by Strother Martin, lends his presence to good effect as Fuller, the snorting, raging El Toro is the real star here. This episode also boasts some of the finest camera work of any Rawhide episode, particularly the scene in which Best is killed by the angry El Toro. The bull literally in a split second picks him up off the ground with one horn and hurls him straight into the camera, skillfully heightened by some brilliant editing. By Rawhide standards, this isn't anything that hasn't been done before, but it is still very effective and well done, and it is far superior to most of the television westerns of its time.

Myron King, of Waco, Texas:
Judge Hogan sentences Jud Hammerklein to be executed after being convicted of murder. Out on the trail, Quince and Rowdy rescue Hannibal Plew from a grave. Hey Soos gets snakebit and Plew helps nurse him back to health. Plew leaves the drive with Mushy and Wishbone. The cook and the louse discover that Plew is the hangman.
Excellent character study of Hannibal Plew as played by Burgess Meredith. Directed by Thomas Carr and written by Paul King, the episode's music was composed and conducted by Leon Klatzin.
|
Myron King, of Waco, Texas:
Plew is plastered with hot lead by Hammerklein's sons in an effort to prevent their father from being hung. The drover are distressed that Plew returns to Deadhorse. Favor reluctantly joins the drover in following Plew into town. Gil tells Hammerklein to think of something as men on both sides will be killed.
Excellent suspenseful conclusion to this two-part with fine performances by Broderick Crawford, Burgess Meredith, and Chill Wills. Richard Shores composed and conducted the music.

29. Incident of the Gilded Goddess [TOP]
|
Myron King, of Waco, Texas:
Louise Temple dazilly wanders into the Gil Favor trail drive. An old acquaintance of Rowdy's, Louise is on the run from the law. And her very presence on the drive doesn't sit well with Favor.
I can see why CBS banished this episode toward the end of the season. For although it has a nice characterization of Louise as portrayed by Dina Merrill, regretfully the story doesn't center around the drive. |
Timothy Booher, Bristol, TN:
Synopsis: Hey Soos is captured by a group of Indian religious fanatics and forced to drink from a cup which he thinks is poison. After he is returned to the herd, a drover reveals that the cup was actually filled with peyote, a mind-altering drug revered by the Indians for its vision-causing powers. The drover's knowledge of the drug is due to the fact that was once a missionary and had tried to introduce this band of Indians to Christianity, a plan which had backfired, and now these Indians seek the former leader to crucify him.
Review: Strange and very involving, this episode is highly unique, with dark religious overtones. The drug abuse theme is once again well handled at a time--several years after 'Top of the World' with Robert Culp--when substance abuse was a day-to-day custom in the coffee houses of San Francisco. Also unique in its treatment of Indians. Rather than being presented as screaming savages or noble warriors defending their land, here they are almost a pre-hippy-like gang subjecting and forcing their drugs upon all they come into contact with. Almost a foreshadowing precursor of the Manson Gang. A very unique piece of television and one not to be taken lightly. A good example of how an 1860's setting could be used to tell a story highly relevant to the 1960's, to or any other time period for that matter.

 The Glass Bottom Boat
Doris Day mistaken as a spy! Sounds like a light-hearted 60's romp to me. In addition to our man Eric Fleming, the movie also features Arthur Godfrey (by the way, am I the only one who can sing about dotting the "i" for the inventors?), Paul Lynde, Dick Martin, and Dom DeLuise.

 Curse of the Undead
Eric Fleming stars as Preacher Dan Young in this, yes, vampire western. How cool is that?
|
 Queen of Outer Space
Eric stars with Zsa Zsa Gabor, dahling, in this hilarious sci-fi flick. A reviewer at the Internet Movie Database says the movie "reeks of cardboard sets, silly dialogue, and more phallic symbols, hot babes, and sexual innuendo than you can wave a stick (or laser gun) at."
|
 Conquest of Space
Eric stars as Captain Barney Merritt in this story about the first manned expedition to Mars. A reviewer at amazon.com numbers among the movie's merits its inclusion of: "MST3K ready dialog! The obligitory accidental weightlessness scene! ... The first ever burial in space! The first ever snowfall on Mars!" In other words, you can't lose!
