Thanks for uploading ! Very interesting ! I remember watching this made for TV film on NBC as a youngster when it first aired. I also recall seeing two other made for TV movies from the same studio (Universal) about that time (give or take a year or two): "Escape from Mindinano" (starring Doug McClure & Ricardo Montablan and set during WWII) & a remake of the 1939 adventure classic "Beau Gest". Though he's not shown in this clip, it's interesting that Dan Duryea appeared in both this version and the original 1950 version of "Winchester 73" (though he played different characters in each version).
Hey, Sherlock, you're stating the OBVIOUS that nearly all of us already know. "Winchester '73" was a big budget theatrical film with weeks spent on expensive location filming in Arizona and an expensive, top-of-the-line cast. This "Winchester 73" (ed. - note, no apostrophe) filmed locally on a modest TV movie budget with a less dynamic Tom Tryon stepping into superstar (of the era) James Stewart's role. Interestingly, these clips of key scenes at the desert outpost are just as colorful and effective as the original. IMO. John Doucette's gravel-voiced delivery of his lines, each more lethal than the preceding, are quite entertaining. We have NO doubts he'd cut anyone in two with that double barrel shotgun at such close range. John Dehner's card sharp, guns-to-Indians seller has no scruples whatsoever. BarBara Luna is so sexy, yet so jaded; she's 'seen it all' no doubt. Villainous John Saxon enters feeling 'on top of the world' and departs as poor 'as a church mouse.' And still the killer he always was and will be. The original is a gem; a classic. The remake isn't nearly the 'dog' you make it out to be. Overall, this TV movie isn't the caliber -- speaking of guns -- of the theatrical. However, some of the acting and brief scenes like this here are just as effective, and 'on the level' as the original. Did you find NOTHING that pleased you, "Tony Hemingway," because again, there's nothing original about your comment; that's the COMMON consensus of perhaps 99.9% of movie goers, TV watchers and western fans.

Can't hold a candle to the Jimmy Stewart movie.
