I thought Bonanza was the first tv series aired in color.




What? Cisco Kid started Sept. 5, 1950 …….. Bonanza started Sept. 12, 1959.


Even the color TV Superman series started 1955.


The Lone Ranger was also an early filmed color show, but not shown that way until much later.


And Albert Glasser's opening theme is right up there with Rossini's William Tell overture.smile

Right you are Cody! I didn't get my first color TV until 1973, my world was in black & white until then!

While I enjoyed The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid was my favorite TV western in the early 1950's. Great TV show and score!

Anyone know how old Duncan Renaldo was by the time the TV series finished? He looked very old to me, and often appeared deathly pale, as if, like the Cid, he'd actually died some time before and was strapped to his horse.

According to Wikipedia Duncan Renaldo was probably born in Romania and was not Mexican. He lived from 1904 to 1980, died at age 76. So during the TV series he was 46 to 52. His life seems like quite a mystery.

Leo Carrillo/Pancho was about 70 to 76 when he did the TV series! Wow!

Duncan Renaldo got started in films in Trader Horn with Harry Carey in 1930. Filmed on location in Africa. From there after a missing period he can be found in many Republic Pictures B westerns. Was part of the trio in the Three Mesquiteers series for a period of time with Bob Livingston and Raymond Hatton.
Leo Carrillo's family goes back generations in California when it was still Mexican territory. Wasn't always the funny Pancho. Started in many films from the early 30's.

Renaldo was the epitome of the Cisco Kid - perfect casting, and Carillo was magic as Pancho. I never missed an episode and I also listened to the radio version, which played until 1955 or something like that. It's an indelible part of my childhood. Finding out that what we really had was The Gay Amigo was the happiest accident of them all, but I'm really glad we were able to identify it.

Ordered, and hoping it might arrive before Christmas? Any shipping update Bruce? Anyway, I am really delighted that Kritzerland have managed to make some of our film music dreams come true once again! Bravo!

Not sure if we'll make Xmas - we're hoping that we can ship everything out by the end of the year, which would still be three weeks ahead of the ship date. But this batch also involves three show titles so there's a lot to process and press.

Thanks Bruce. I'm happy either way.

I was probably too young to remember this with any certainty, but is this the series that included Pancho's stock phrase 'Lets went'?

Delighted to close my perk with that long-waited-and-desired release !

Thanks for releasing this - it's always great to have more Glasser on disc!

This is no complaint, only a question. smile
So there will be no release of music from the TV Series because the box with the tapes was mislabeled?

 By:   haineshisway   (Member)

It wasn't mislabeled - it was merely labeled The Cisco Kid, so the assumption has always been that it was cues from the TV show (and some of the features' music was recycled for the show). When I decided it might be fun to title the M numbers, I began watching episodes of the show, but then somehow I found three of the features with Renaldo and Carillo - for unknown reasons I just chose The Gay Amigo to watch to see if I could come up with titles from that presuming the music was similar. Well, from the first cue after the main title, I knew we had that exact score, almost complete. So that was really fun to identify. Only a couple of cues were missing from the latter half of the film and I truly think those may have just been re-edited from what we have, in the way music editors do that stuff.

On this occasion, Glasser’s music doesn’t quite give us the pummelling that his score from Monster from Green Hell does!

I find it interesting how scores like The Cisco Kid stir up primordial film music memories. And it’s all in good fun when Bruce tackles unusual projects like this.

Some things are ingrained in our psyches and for anyone who grew up in the 1950s, this is one of those things smile And it must be said we could only tackle stuff like this with Chris Malone. And he's correct, this is not Glasser in blaring mode.

Oh how I love film scores in non- " blaring mode". Melody reigns supreme. I like your choice of words better than what I used to call it... noise.
