Clint Walker is the best Western leading man of TV and Errol Flynn the finest Big
Screen actor.
In this War Party episode one can only laugh when the feckless,fat-hipped..female bodied James Garner attempted to use his"limited"acting skills and narrow shoulders to
be tough for TV audiences.garner must have known some top suits in Hollweird in order to be in films??? In Maverick,which I never viewed for more than ten minutes......Garner was awful.
Clint Walker should have been offered "tons" of Movie Roles instead of people such as James Stewart,Randolph Scott or any others.

I must note that I am in my early 60s and a woman who grew up watching Westerns~series and movies~with a father who was crazy about the genre. I never cared much for "Big Valley" and "Bonanza", even less now that I'm revisiting it. I suppose both seemed far too tame, with no rough edges. I'm enjoying "Death Valley Days" on Encore Western, but I'd rather see the b&w episodes. I'd love to see "Sugarfoot" again, just to see if I like it as much as when I was a little girl.
