Wagon Train: The Julie Gage Story (1957)
Season 1, Episode 14
6/10
Half a marriage
30 April 2013
The action is on romance with a dash of comedy as husband and wife Anne Jeffreys and Robert Sterling guest star in the Julie Gage Story. Anne is in the title role and she's a spirited lass making the trip west with her father who takes with a sudden fever and dies.

Since she's also beautiful there's no shortage of competition among the single men on the Wagon Train. She rejects both Jimmy Komack and Don Megowan, but Robert Sterling strikes her fancy though she makes a big fuss in any event.

People had some strange ideas back then. Granted that when Robert Sterling comes down with the same fever she has to nurse him which necessitates spending time with him. So she proposes to quiet the gossip that Ward Bond perform a marriage ceremony with only her taking the vows. She's bound to him, but Sterling's not bound to her.

Quite an arrangement, if they run the episode maybe it will catch on if someone like Britney Spears or Paris Hilton does it.

Can half a marriage work? You have to watch The Julie Gage Story to find out.
