- The Twilight Zone Season 1 Episode 3 Mr. Denton On Doomsday.
This is the bar scene with Dan Duryea as 'Al Denton' and Doug McClure as 'Pete Grant', the young cowboy.
This is only a short scene - it's one of the best scenes out there.
Rip Doug Mclure. Great actor died young
Guess that explains who won the gunfight!
@@Alan1234x That's Trampus, he survived that fight to go on and play on The Virginian. It wasn't until about 30 years later that he died.
And what the fuck, please, is the point of these few seconds of a clip?
I always liked Doug McClure. That guy was in a lot of movies. He played in many westerns.
I recall watching this episode as a kid growing up in the 60s. Rather than simply answer those asking what happens next, I think it's important that everyone knows exactly what happened that led up to the bar scene. The following is an excellent movie summary provided by Wikipedia:
Al Denton was once known as the quickest draw in town, but riddled with increasing guilt over the losers in his gun duels (one of whom was a teenage boy), he became an alcoholic wreck and the laughingstock of the community. A mysterious salesman named Henry J. Fate causes Denton to inexplicably regain his expert shooting touch and once again inspire the respect and awe of the townsfolk; Denton explains to Liz, a saloon girl, that this will only cause reputation-hungry gunslingers from miles around to seek him out and, inevitably, kill him. He cleans himself up and goes sober but only, he says, so as to die with dignity. Just as Denton predicted, soon enough a challenge is delivered which Denton dare not refuse.
The still-weary and not-so-sure-handed Denton practices in the desert for his suicidal duel, but he misses his targets miserably and concludes that he must skip town. As he packs his things and tries to flee under the cover of night, he strikes up a conversation with Fate, who seems to know things about Denton and offers him a way out. Fate offers him a potion guaranteed to make the drinker the fastest gun in the West for exactly ten seconds. Denton is skeptical but Fate goads him into drinking a free sample, after which Denton immediately realizes its benefits.
At the appointed time, Denton faces his challenger, Pete Grant, a brash young gunfighter. Denton downs his potion only to find his opponent holding an identical empty bottle. Grant and Denton both realize that Fate tricked them, but it is too late to back out of the duel. Each man shoots the other in the hand, causing injuries which are minor but forever ruin both men's ability to pull a trigger.
Denton tells his young opponent that they have both been blessed because they will never again be able to fire a gun in anger. He tells Liz that Grant is lucky because he was given this lesson early. Henry J. Fate tips his hat to Denton and rides quietly out of town.
Thanks i was about to search for the entire episode .
Thanks for that. This episode is one of the few I haven't seen since the first airing.
you guys missed a good one if you missed this. Martin Landau plays a good bad guy and town bully. Thats a young Doug McClure as the blond gunfighter.
You write very well. You should consider authoring something that interests you personally so you can put your heart into it.
Dan Duryea was one of Hollywood's classic character actors. RIP, Dan.
How did he die.?.
Lung cancer, 1968.
Damn
he was in a lot of movies. he was very good.
In many movies Duryea played an almost maniacal villain (watch two James Stewart movies, Winchester 73 (the original) and Night Passage) to see this. But in this Twilight Zone episode he demonstrated his ability to portray a much more nuanced, almost sympathetic character. This was a man from the era when actors made their movies great with great acting, not over-the-top unrealistic action scenes.
nice short scene with no purpose or reason , waste of 57 seconds
lol. Your comment made me laugh! Well said! 😂
Yup.
It was a great episode though!
Doug McClure so handsome here...very funny guy on THE VIRGINIAN. LOVED that show
He also suffered from what plagued the career of Jeffrey Hunter.
They were both almost prettier than the female costars...that was said of Hunter specifically....
What happened to him? Didnt go far?
jessie james actually he did but never hit the big one...he was Capt. Pike in the Star Trek pilot back when...best known for his role as Jesus in King of Kings.
Recommend you look at his Wikipedia page and see the opinions of him from Marilyn Monroe and Ruta Lee ...he was a very interesting man indeed....😇
@@brianjones7660 thanks.
That's it??? What happened???
That build up with the music 👌
Submitted for your approval town drunk al Denton rummy

Thanks Very Much.
Dan Duryea one of the best character actors forever.
how about finishing the scene ?
just came from a clean shave...ha...
Get off of youtube.😐
Just goes to show that the gun control menace is alive and well in the twilight zone.
Hey, do you know me?
One of them looks like Doug McLure...
It was.
The other one doesn't
Hello I’m Troy McClure, you might remember me from..............
This scene has been cut in the official releases (DVD - Blu Ray) Why ???!!!
Yet another forgettable Doug McClure moment.
Did they film this during after a " the virginian " bar scene ?
Hi I’m Doug McClure you might remember me….
The best part was when both realize they've taken the same serum.
Yeah, Dan Durea was in everything
Doug kinda looks like Lee Marvin there.
Yeah....when he was a teen.
Looks nothing like him
@@bennyhead8615 that is my opinion, if you don't think so, you will have to get your own.
Who would be scared of wimpy Doug McClure?
Wasn't in the bar to pick blueberries
Not Dan Duryah. But Doug McClure.
Hi, i'm Doug McClure....
- "I hear you're supposed to be fat"
- "Hey no fat shaming here. This is a safe space."
Cowboy dan’s a major player in the cowboy scene
