This episode is just exquisite. As I scanned the information about this episode on IMDb, I was heartened when I saw that Charles Larson was the writer and Ted Post the director.
However, I had no way of knowing just how splendid this episode was going to be. It was ...... captivating ......... sweet ......... warm ....... adjectives that don't always fit Rawhide very well. In this case, they melded to form a story that was just wonderful.
The only real complaint I have......well, it isn't a complaint really (okay, maybe it is); but throughout the 6th season, it seems to me that Eric Fleming has been doing more than bit of grousing about everything under the sun. Sure, I know he's the trail boss, and he's got to stick to his guns to keep the drovers in line. Maybe it's because he seems to have less to do on most of the 6th season episodes; and so, when he chimes in, it's usually in a complaining vein. I can't put my finger on it, but his performances this season start to grate on me. He's just not quite the same Gil Favor.......in my opinion anyway.
Nevertheless, I don't want to end this review on a negative note. This episode of Rawhide deserves 10 stars!
