BOOTS AND SADDLES! ULTRA RARE CLASSIC TV WESTERNS
EXTREMELY RARE
Set at Fort Lowell in the Arizona Territory in the 1880's, this show was unique in that it portrayed life from the point of view of the Fifth Cavalry as they attempted to co-exist with the Apache. Boots And Saddles was a tough, gritty show, not romanticizing the role of the cavalry trooper in western history, but showing it as a dirty, uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous job, but one that had to be done. John Pickard, the lead, had been a reliable character actor in westerns for many years he fit the part of the tough cavalry sergeant well. A very good show that unfortunately didn't last as long as it deserved.

WHISPERING SMITH! Rare TV Episode Starring Audie Murphy!
Whispering Smith was a detective on the Denver, Colorado Police Department in the 1870s. This show took case histories from Smith's adventures. George Romack was Smith's partner and John Richards was the police chief. Audie Murphy appeared in a number of enjoyable westerns in the 1950's before trying his luck in TV with this role as a cowboy detective. The acting and casting in this series were well-executed. However, the writing and erratic story lines were problematic in this series. Audie Murphy was perfect for this role, which had been originated in a movie of the same name. Murphy made the role his own, and seemed to be very serious about seeing this series succeed. Eventually, he returned to the silver screen, seemingly disillusioned by his TV experience. Sadly this seems to be the only available episode:WHISPERING SMITH - STAKE-OUT |
