DVD : Have Gun Will Travel - The Complete First Season |
- Sir Richard BooneI hadn't seen one of these since my boyhood in the 50s and 60s. I remember waiting anxiously for the original episodes on the same day and time each week, but I didn't exactly recall why I liked it so much.
It's all Richard Boone. The show is not especially well written, although the music is pretty good and premise is great--a rich, San Francisco dandy/black dressed lethal gunfighter who quotes literature and always does the right thing. But Boone is what makes it work. Even in these relatively primitive productions in the late 50s, he just shines as an actor, far and away the best and most appealing in that genre. He has perfect pitch for the role.

- Have Gun-Will Travel : Paladin is backHave Gun-Will Travel, Paladin fans will not be disappointed. The first season has 39 episodes of great viewing quality and sound. The special features shouldn't be missed with cast biographies. Lots of guest stars that became stars in their own right. This was an "adult, thinking-man's" western. Paladin, a professional, educated, former military officer who is now a private detective, bodyguard, bounty hunter, courier,knight righting wrongs in the old west. You won't be able to quit watching each adventure so plan on a whole week-end of watching. One of the best western tv series of all time.

- Pikaru's reviewThe recording needs a lot of improvement. There were some episodes that were not viewable. I suggest that the master be remastered and try again. I still like the item and can't wait to get the last 3 seasons of the series.

- Have Paladin Will WatchI picked this up after hearing a paper at a conference on Westerns on TV back in March. I got it to add to my growing research on the characteristics of the hero in American culture. But I really enjoyed watching all the episodes. What a wonderful series! And some of the episodes were written by one of the greats of TV, Gene Roddenberry.
I wasn't old enough to watch Have Gun Will Travel when it was first on, but I remember watching episodes in reruns in the late 60s or early 70s; however, I didn't remember how good it was. I highly recommend it.
