Raylan Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Just aquired the entire series Have Gun - Will Travel. Takes me back to watching it on my grandparents black and with tv (in reruns) as we didn't have a tv at the time. Miss those old westerns - remember watching the rifleman, bonanza, gunsmoke, maverick, high chaparral, and f troop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched an hour of the Rifleman and an hour of Wanted Dead or Alive . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I always like Paladin. The only thing that bothered me about the opening was when Paladin drew and cocked his gun, pointing it toward the camera, said his say, then uncocked the gun and slammed it back into his holster...presumably with the firing pin resting on the primer that was now under the hammer! Could just see him as a standin for Hopalong Cassidy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I have the series on DVD and the remastering is excellent. I picked up the entire series of Wanted Dead or Alive out of a bargain bin and once again the remastering is excellent. We just bought the newly released 10th season of Bonanza from Amazon. They only come out every couple of years, but the picture quality is like it was just filmed yesterday. It took about 8 or so years to go from the release of the 1st season to the 10th but, well worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I like Paladin's facial expressions. Richard Boone was a master at conveying how he felt at every moment with expressions alone. Nicholas Cage could take some lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice that when another actor is speaking his/her lines to someone else and Boone is in the frame, he sometimes flicks the fingers of his right hand continuously, which is down by his side. I have noticed that several times in different episodes. It's almost like he is reacting negatively to how the other actor is reciting his/her lines.. I could be wrong on that part, but, he does it quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven. He’s always in motion, adjusting his hat, fiddling with shotgun shells; he gave a clinic in scene stealing in that movie!

I read that Yul Brenner said to Steve that if he continued that, he (Yul) would take off his hat and no one would look at you (Steve) again.

Wayward Slim Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 This is probably my fav of the old westerns. Love it so much I named one of my heelers Paladin. When he was a puppy I taught him to come when I would play the theme song for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Steve and Yul didn't get along well during the filming of that movie. Steve didn't like the fact that he didn't get any of the good lines (hardly any at all, in fact) and Yul was unhappy working with another A-list actor who was taller than him.

Cat Brules Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The wiggling of fingers on my right hand, my gun hand, is something I’ve done since I was a little boy, about five or six. I still do it in confrontational situations. Back then, it was in nervous anticipation, loosening up my hand and waiting for my brother to reach for his cap pistol. He was always faster.

Cat Brules His wiggling of his fingers in the scenes that I watched had nothing to do with him ready to draw his gun. It was just him watching two other actors reciting their lines.
