Constance Ford (born Cornelia M. Ford; July 1, 1923 - February 26, 1993) was an American actress and model, initially working for the Montgomery Ward catalog when she was 15 years old. Her face became famous in the Elizabeth Arden 1941 advertising campaign. She is best known for her long-running role as Ada Hobson on the daytime soap opera Another World, which by the time she left due to cancer, she was the longest-running performer of the show. In all her stage, film & tv characters she played the aggressive, strong-willed woman. As a Warner Brothers contract player, she had her most famous role as Sandra Dee's heartless mother in A Summer Place (1959).
Constance Ford reminds me a lot of Joanne Woodward. She looks a little like her except Joanne Woodward’s and her chins don’t look much alike. However, the way she speaks kinda with that slow, southern drawl sounds a lot like Joanne Woodward in the movie, The Long Hot Summer. The scene where Paul Newman slowly takes her hair loose and is preparing to kiss her, is one of the sexiest scenes that I’ve ever seen. Also, in the the movie, The Last Wagon starring Richard Widmark has one scene when he is going to kiss the girl. He gets his face close to her’s and he just keeps breathing close to her face and her ear, and I just want to say, hurry up and kiss her, the anticipation is killing me, before he finally kisses her. I’ve watched that movie at least 5 or 6 times and I plan to watch it again. It’s one of my favorite movies. Watching it for the first time established Richard Widmark as one of my favorite actors.
I really appreciate the lineup of Trackdown, great western. Only complaint: video resolution. Some were labeled 480, looked more like 240 yet one at 240 looks like 480! Nonetheless it is nice having a western that i only got once a week until now. Hope you upload more! Thanks
You're welcome! I got these off the Internet Archive because I can't find the show anywhere else. Random people post them there, so maybe there are more now - I think I last checked in 2019.
She fired a firearm within city limits and damage someone's personal property in front of an officer of the law. And didn't get arrested on the spot. On top that Rangers are never supposed to relinquish their side arms to anyone, for any reason, unless ordered to by a superior.
I got news for ya: NO ONE who spends much time at all outside in the country has much luck keeping their hair nice n shiny like that blond's (& that was all "country"). The dust & dirt blows around and certainly gets in yr hair! Besides that, lol, I totally doubt that there were shampoos/conditioners that would do the job! BUT it looks good
I like what James Wilson said about it being a made up movie. I catch myself wondering at the end of the movie if the woman remarried or if the man was declared innocent of the murder of which he was accused, etc 😂😂😂😂😂🤣
Trust me back then you could threaten to kill someone. That was not against the law. You had to kill the person before you broke the law. Not that way now days if you threaten someone it like getting a traffic ticket
Not wild about this.....Culp, (I Spy), looks like Bucky Beaver and Richard Webb is just to polite in this. He was the same way in Capt. Midnight. Good story though.(ls)
He's not my favorite either--but I can tolerate Culp a LOT more in this show than in the others he's appeared in--ESPECIALLY Greatest Am. Hero--couldn't stand him in that or the show itself.
tv's 'captain midnight' was great as the sheriff!
I find these series different from other western series... Beginning to enjoy these episodes
KC THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS EPISODE
Constance Ford is terrific ; so strong and determined.
Constance Ford was not only beautiful but also a very good actress. I have always enjoyed any of her performances.
Great episode .
Dick Webb, who plays the role of the sheriff in this episode, was Captain Midnight in the series of that name, also known as Jet Jackson.
Richard Webb grabbed another regular series role two-and-a-half years after this, as Deputy Chief Don Jagger on the short-lived Border Patrol.
Hoby Gillman and Capt. Midnight...
Connie Ford was effective in her roles.
Didn't she star in A Summer Place

I totally agree with you!
Wow you do know that this was a TV show. It wasn't really real. Lmbo
I like what James Wilson said about it being a made up movie. I catch myself wondering at the end of the movie if the woman remarried or if the man was declared innocent of the murder of which he was accused, etc 😂😂😂😂😂🤣
I remember Constance Ford usually playing a woman emotional issues. Like in Theme from a Summer Place.
Very attractive but lots of emotional baggage.
It is illegal to threaten to harm someone; perhaps that was not true at the time of this story.
this is NOT the law everywhere
Just a guess but back then where the law was few and far between...it wasn't a threat but a soon to be fact.
Trust me back then you could threaten to kill someone. That was not against the law. You had to kill the person before you broke the law. Not that way now days if you threaten someone it like getting a traffic ticket
This was an unusual story,having a woman be good with a gun,and wanting justice for her husband!
A group of gamblers and drunks.
Do you really expect decency?
Money leads to the end result.
Unify America! Vote Trump!
Never😊

And don't forget Webb was also in the original Star Trek in 1967.
@@christopherfranklin1881 Yes, I remember that also, he was an Admiral or
High ranking official.
😂
The story was unbelievable ' the ending was bad
Double jeopardy. Foolish ending.
Double jeopardy. Foolish show.
I'm not sure double jeopardy applies when the accused bought off the witnesses lol
