Enjoyed this. Both my Uncles started out delivering telegraphs. then became telegraphists, and rose through the CN/CP Telecommunications ranks. In middle of nowhere to boot.
Thanks so much for these old westerns. As a note of trivia the town in this episode was at the gone but not forgotten Corriganville movie ranch. This is the same street Nick Adams walked down in the pilot episode of The Rebel and where the Texas Rangers walked up then down as the opening and closing for The Tales Of The Texas Rangers. Also the Forsaken Westerns episode Buckskin Rangers was filmed at Corriganville along with Ray Crash Corrigan owner of the movie ranch. Keep 'em coming.
Trivia-It was destroyed by wildfires in 1976 and 1979. In 1937, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan, Real name: Raymond Benitz 1902 - 1976, one of the stars of Republic Pictures' The Three Mesquiteers Western series, purchased a 1500 acre ranch in Simi Valley, Ventura County, California, for $11,354. Corriganville was built by movie and TV actor Ray Bernard, but better known as Crash Corrigan. After going on a hunting trip in Simi Valley with fellow actor, Clark Gable, in 1935, Corrigan fell in love with the area. In 1937, Corrigan purchased the land, and built his home there. He eventually went on to build an entire western backlot, dubbed Silvertown, served as the background scenery for movies and television programs such as Fort Apache, Buffalo Bill in Tomahawk Territory, The Robe, Lassie, The Lone Ranger, The Bandit of Sherwood Forest, How the West was Won, Gunsmoke,The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, Sky King, Circus Boy, and Star Trek, and more. One of the last movies filmed there was Vigilante Force (1976). Wikipedia atomicredhead.com obscurehollywood.net/corriganville.html
What a pleasure to see Peter Breck in one of his first tv appearances! He will always be remembered as the jowly and irascible Nick Barkley. Richard Anderson went on to immortality as "Oscar," on the "Six Million Dollar Man" in the early 1970s.
Definitely Classics Bob' amazing, you must have good connections, following alot of your shows& movies I can see why🤠 looks like you are the real deal as far as anything out west thanks for sharing with you have came across,
cattle baron verse western union no contest western union can call on the army and as many hired guns as it takes to get the job done, and that's without using the lawyers and senators
excellent show, thank you
Thanks for airing. I enjoyed it very much. Too bad it didn't continue as a series. So many good showed have fallen on the way side.
WESTERN SERIES AND MOVIES FROM THE 40'S TO THE MID 70'S WERE JUST GREAT.
Talk about inspiration and integrity that's more contagious than covid.
And later he created the 6 million dollar man. .. gee how times of changed.
Gotta love it..THANK you
