 By:   Rollin Hand   (Member)

I will skip the episodes from disc #4, meaning Incident at Quivira, Incident of Decision, Incident of the Burying Man, Incident of the Trail's End.

Volume 2 · Disc #1

Incident at Spider Rock
Incident of the Mountain Man
Incident at Crooked Hat - music by Fred Steiner


Incident of Judgment Day
written by 'story consultant' Paul King and Richard Landau
directed by Thomas Carr
guest: John Dehner, Claude Rains, Gail Kobe, John Kellogg

At night and for his birthday, at the camp, Wishbone makes Yates a cake when two riders stop by and take Yates into custody. Arriving at dawn in a ghost town, the three men step into an empty and destroyed house to execute Yates when an old drunk judge makes his dramatic entrance. The trial of confederate private Yates is about to begin featuring many witnesses…

The basic plot will be recycled in 1968 in an episode of The Wild Wild West entitled "The Night of the Underground Terror". Actor John Dehner returns from Incident of The Four Horsemen. Stock music culled from Leonard Rosenman's "And When the Sky Was Opened" from The Twilight Zone.

Recommended!

Incident of the Pale Rider
written by Dean Reisner
directed by Christian Nyby
guest: Albert Salmi, Fred Wayne, Russell Thorson

Arriving in a ghost town, Hey Soos and Calhoun stop their supplies wagon to get a load while Rowdy Yates goes to the Wells Fargo office to obtain the expenses money ($200). Waiting for his money, Yates offers a job to a singing drunk pianist named John Day who later threatens him with his handgun to steal his money. Calhoun steps into the Wells Fargo office, John Day turns up and shoots him while Yates guns Day down dead. Returning to the camp, Yates notices the new drover named Rivers who is the lookalike of the late John Day! A series of trouble starts from here…

Another macabre episode in the line of Thriller that toys with the question of the identity and the theme of the doppelgänger. The performance of Albert Salmi is noteworthy. Recommended.
Music composed and conducted by Nathan Scott.

let's have a season 5 break and shift to the last season.


This season 8 has a brand new production team. Producer Robert E. Thompson will later join the rank of Mission: Impossible as a writer and an occasional producer for a couple of season 3. There’s a change in the story-telling because the story editor adds a prologue and an epilogue and removes the sign-off. Find a new main titles executed by DePatie and Freleng which will do The Wild Wild West and the stylistic similarities are blatant. The artwork consists of a series of faded rough sketches punctuated with an animated whip. Film editor Robert Sparr work back-to-back on Rawhide and on The Wild Wild West. Some composers like Richard Shores and Harry Geller will come aboard The Wild Wild West too. One major director contributes to the series: Sutton Roley who will participate at Mission: Impossible.

executive producer Ben Brady
associate producer Robert Stillman

* in some episodes.

The main cast undergoes an update: actors Eric Fleming (Gil Favor) and James Murdoch (Mushy) are fired. While Paul Brinegar and Steve Raines remain, actor Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates is promoted as trail boss and is assisted by three newcomers: actors Raymond St-Jacques as Simon Blake and John Ireland as Jed Colby and sometimes English actor David Watson as Ian Cabot.

The music department is renewed from top to bottom. The rendition of Dimitri Tiomkin’s theme is changed and Herschel Burke Gilbert is gone. The new music supervisor is Morton Stevens. Unlike previous seasons, the end theme is not a repeat of the theme song by Frankie Laine but a completely new instrumental tune.

Gilbert left C.B.S as their West Coast Music Director because of corporate meddling, and didn't score a feature film until 1969 ("Sam Whiskey"). The end title theme was actually a new arrangement of the music composed by Russell Garcia that opened every episode in the previous seasons.

Disc #1

Episode #1: Encounter at Boot Hill
written by Anthony Spinner
directed by Sutton Roley
music composed and conducted by Bernard Herrmann
guest: Simon Oakland, Jeff Corey, Peter Haskell, Timothy Carey, Malcolm Atterbury, IMF Dal Jenkins (uncredited)

In a clearing, a father avenges the death of his son Vance and asks his other son—limping Jethroe—to prepare the hanging of two innocent drovers when two riders of Yates' outfit come charging straight at the executioner. Later on, Yates, Quince and Blake find the dead body of drover Peters and wounded drover Ian Cabot that they bring to the town of Regis where Sheriff Blaine and his sleazy deputy Walker rule as despots. Against the local authorities' will, Yates insists to organize a fair trial.

It's a twisted family drama that integrates a courtroom-oriented scene and a veiled reference to William Wellman's lynching film The Ox-Bow Incident. Find an excellent film-making by Sutton Roley—see the hanging prologue or Yates fighting the deputy, the off-centered extreme close-ups—helped by a good guest cast and a fine score. It introduces the character of English drover Ian Cabot. Oddly enough, no explanation is provided when it comes to the departures of the two previous characters. The series is a bit hip because of an English actor and a black supporting cast.

Episode #2: Ride a Crooked Mile
written by N.B. Stone Jr and 'story editor' Herman Miller
story by N.B. Stone Jr
directed by Justus Addiss
edited by Robert Sparr
guest: John Drew Barrymore, Douglas Kennedy, Harry Lauter

Gambler Danny Hawks joins the outfit of Yates thanks to Jeb Colby because of an expensive pure bred horse. Wealthy land owner Nat Benson and two hired guns stop at the camp to arrest Danny to hang him high and recover his stolen horse. Yates refuses to turn Danny down without a warrant. Benson threatens them and move out. Simon Blake remembers the face of Danny Hawks from somewhere before. Things are not what they appear to be…

Apart from the fancy dude performance of John Drew Barrymore, the story is too anecdotal and modest. We learn that Jim Quince is promoted to the status of ramrod. This episode introduces a new regular: Jed Colby (actor John Ireland who guested in previous episodes). Actor John Drew Barrymore returns from the season 7 "Corporal Dasovik". Among other things, features some stock music from Fred Steiner's "King Nine Will Not Return".

Episode #3: Six Weeks to Bent Fork
written by Mort R. Lewis
directed by Thomas Carr
music composed by Hugo Friedhoffer
guest: IMF James Gregory, R.G. Armstrong, L.Q. Jones, Vaughn Taylor

Yates arrives late at a business meeting with owner Fletcher who offers him to lead his beeves with a deadline to Bent Fork and with a special condition: to use his ramrod named Lash Whitcomb, a real tough loud-mouth. Despite the fact Yates doesn't get well with the new ramrod and the intrusion of Indians wanting some beeves, he must accomplish his assignment. In the process, Yates hurts himself and lets Lash lead the herd and the outfit. Things turn bad when sheriff Keeley orders to put the herd into a 60 days quarantine or paying $5,000.

It's a solid episode because of actor James Gregory playing a two-faced ramrod that Yates calls 'segundo'. John Ireland is absent. It's another entry with the hip character of Ian Cabot singing the British Grenadiers and converting the outfit to the English way of life: see the funny ending with Wish and Quince dressing as traditional Englishmen. Actor L.Q. Jones returns from the season 7 "The Race". The score is superb and powerful but the CD release omits some cues. The best cue is heard for Yates' arrival into town and the departure of the sheriff posse punctuated with the ominous beat. Recommended!

Is this somewhere on YouTube?

Can you be more specific about it: which season, which episode?
Thanks.

I think filmusicnow is referring to season 8 in his posting above.
