- Episode 2-10 from "The Defenders" starring E.G. Marshall, Robert Reed. Guest star William Shatner. .( only season 1 has been released on DVD so far ). If & when season 2 is released on DVD, I'll delete this post.

GORGEOUS William Shatner, JUST GORGEOUS! Even in black and white you can see the glint in his eyes!
YES!
It’s what you want to see. He had a bigger twinkle when he went into space last year.
Captain Glinty! 😂😅
Like others have noted, William Shatner still looks great and speaks fluently!
The original star trek will always be the best and only series imo.
@Tim W I agree 100%!
I am totally in your agreement the first Star Trek is the best 👍
Shatner went to where no man has gone before and had some alien DNA transfused that doubles his life span.

What a amazing performer, the more I watch him the more I love and admire William Shatner 🌟🤩
Me too! I will always admire him.
Great actor and a Puppet for the likes of Jeff BOZO and his Fake Space company. Keep Your "Gushing" in check.
And HE admires YOU.
The America I grew up in , where lying had consequences and people strove for truth.
little pink houses for you and me!
Yes, at that time in the early 60s, only 1/4 to 1/3rd of Americans were fully corrupt. Today 3/5th of all Americans are fully corrupt and Reprobate. Witchcraft is the fastest growing religion. There is chasm the size of the Grand Canyon between America of 60 years ago and what passes for America today.
That’s the same America I grew up in. I also thought Mike Brady was a good family man. I know it’s called acting.
Yes, I remember that America. I don’t recognize it any more
You do realize that this fiction. Right?
This was nearly SIXTY YEARS AGO and The Shat Man is STILL going strong.
I wonder where he got his wonderful talking inflection that he has, that nobody else has. Good example of it is the very last words of his at 48:15.

Capt just celebrated 90! Happy Day, Wm Shatner!
Incredible
Ahhh. When William Shatner does monologues, whether here or as Captain Kirk, he’s very persuasive! I still have his speech about the Preamble to the Constitution in my head almost 50 years later: “these words must apply to EVERYONE or they mean NOTHING!” A true master of his craft!
william shatner was the poster child of the textbook actor.
1.) answers his phone
2.) shows up on time
3.) knows his lines
4.) works for cheap
I don't think he works cheap anymore!
Excellent actors. The DA was in TZ’s ‘Walking Distance’ and Star Trek along Shatner in one of my favorites, ‘This Side of Paradise.’👏
I remember watching these episodes back then, E.G. Marshall, superb actor, as was Shatner.
Shatner was good in this show but I felt he over acted in the TV series Star Trek.
E.G. Marshall was amazing as always, so was Shatner and what little screen time Robert Reed had was good. The women in this episode lacked any acting talent at all.
The great E G Marshall was excellent as well
william was always a great actor, this is brilliance and i want to see more,very twelve angry men format on the oth3er side of the court
This was really good. I also always loved EG Marshall. in case NOBODY ever saw the original 12 angry men, wow you need to watch that! He is in it along with many other great stars. Shatner did a very good job in this show as well.
@Lisa-ow8mh Agree 100% with both you and @kystars! 12 Angry men....one of the finest pieces of entertainment it has been my privilege to watch!
@@doonsbury9656 And except for the closing scene as they were leaving the courthouse, it all took place in a single room I believe. Can you imagine a movie today that was filmed in the same room start to finish?
I was born in 1954. My parents used to let me watch this show. My aunt was DA of Philly, and we were surrounded by lawyers. Everyone expected me to become an attorney, partly because of my interest in shows like The Defenders. This was quality television; the writing, acting and direction. E.G. Marshall is mostly forgotten, but he was a good lead for this kind of story. Thank you for resurrecting these! Shatner before he forgot the art of acting, becoming a caricature of himself after Star Trek.

You. Mean. Back. Then. He. Didn't. Say. Each. Word. As Though. It. Was. A. Sentence.
Lol.
I was born in 1955 and was fortunate that my local TV station reran The Defenders on daytime TV in the late sixties. The strangest episode I saw was Fires of the Mine. It was the Summer of Love, when people were going to San Francisco to drop acid. I was at home watching Robert Reed on an acid trip. That was one weird way of preparing for a defense!
Has the Shat man, i`m watching. My fondest memories are me and my dad watching old star trek and twilight zone with him.
A great tv series that showcases the likes of Gene Hackman, Martin Sheen, and the pilot features the unknown Steve McQueen. Shatner is outstanding in a couple episodes. He waited for stardom to catch up with his talent.
I'm a big fan of the original 'Star Trek" but...Shatner's acting is so natural in his early roles!! (and he's so handsome😍) Thanks so much for sharing this!💯😄👍
Quality speaks for itself even after so long
Very good play -- at age 77 now, I knew Shatner only from the original Star Trek, had no idea he played such a variety of roles; ty much appreciated!
took acting at the acting school----in Ontario
@@alexshatzko1381 Yes Alex I just learned that also -- Shatner is a Canuck, one of the marvelous folk of our neighbors to the north!
👍👌👏 Pretty heavy stuff. Nothing has changed, on the contrary. Greed for money and power is ruling and ruining our planet. Because for those already extremely rich and extremely powerful big scrupulous industries/companies it's still mote important than our environment.
Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this old movie.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
i love how there is no computers on any of the desks! :)
Flawless performance by William Shatner.
Line delivery: Outstanding
Reaction shots: Outstanding
Body language: Outstanding
My Canadian bias: Embarrassing
Wig: remarkable
@@spacemanski lolz
Shatner's amazing, his first scene at the table how he sees through the con man is awesome! Never saw this before
And then he sticks the guy with his lunch tab! hahahaha
amazing to see he still had hair back then
@@pendorran : he DOES! LOL
Whenever Kirk is on the scene it's hard to look away. He has such screen presence. I've never seen these before but I'm watching everyone I can find. What a treat. Thank you:)
@@purefoldnz3070 Nope. he started wearing a piece around 1958.
William Shatner; the more I see him, the more I like him.
My brother is an attorney. He was the assistant D.A. in Anchorage Alaska at one time. I asked him what he would do if he thought a man was innocent, and it was his job to convict him. He replied that he has the right to tell his boss that he couldn’t take on the case because of his personal convictions. So they do think about the merits of each case. It’s not cut and dry, the prosecutor HAS to convict the “criminal “, not at all, at least it’s not supposed to be.
William Shatner. A legendary, superb, unique, awesome Canadian actor/director/treasure. He is simply amazing no matter what project he takes on. He is still strong & inspires us in so many ways. God Bless you Always, William Shatner. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
William Shatner ...Captain James T Kirk of the USS Enterprise in the Star Trek Franchise ....Shatner became a cultural icon for his role .... and his seven decades of acting :) " Not many actors has gone where this man has gone before " LOL ...Beam me up Scotty :)
This is a treat, because I haven't seen this show since I was in my teens. My father was a lawyer and really enjoyed The Defenders. He explained the points of law, and answered the questions I had. I have great memories of watching this with him. Now I can appreciate the good quality of the writing, acting, and directing. I look forward to seeing more episodes to see some actors who weren't yet famous when I watched The Defenders so many years ago.
Boy oh boy he was a handsome little devil no wonder he was chosen to play Captain Kirk absolutely gorgeous young man
I started watching Star Trek when I was in 8th grade (1967-8), and I had the biggest crush on Captain Kirk for years!
Don't give the Devil any glory. William was like an Beautiful Archangel of early Family TV!
@@tomato1040 Meaning?
He's still a handsome man at 90 years old.. 😍
@@amymack1954 I wanted to be him, lol.
“Damn it, Jim! You’re the Captain of the Starship Enterprise! Not Asst. DA!”
It's amazing that actress Lois Smith (Shatner's wife in this episode) is still with us at age 92 with a career spanning 8 decades.
She was a terrible actress
I used to watch this every week when I was 7. Good then and still so.
I think it was on saturday night but i'm not sure.
Bailey9r. I was born in 1954 and never watched this series when it aired from 1961 to 1965. It was on TV past my bedtime. But I remember laying in bed at night waiting to fall asleep and hearing the theme music for this show playing while my parents watched it. These days I've been trying to watch all of the episodes I can find on UA-cam. It's much more realistic than Perry Mason. Perry won all of his cases but one. "The Defenders" don't always win their case. For me, that's much more true to real life.
@@vickyabramowitz2885 Ha I'm a '54 model also! ;
Loved this.
Never seen such a young William Shatner
wow so William goes way back a great actor ,liked him in star trek
Why didn't I know about this show. I love the feel of it. Is like a modern version of Perry Mason.
It was made when the Perry Mason TV series was in the middle of its run.
That was the style of the time by the end of the Perry Mason run, after Lt Tragg was gone. .
You should look up Shatner in other "The Defenders", Route 66 and in his white supremacist riot antagonist independent movie. Fine work.
This was one of my father's favorite TV shows, so I saw a lot of episodes when I was a kid. It was much better than Perry Mason, which was pretty formulaic.
We are old but not that old apparently
@@troysummers9277 I'm 54 but still remember shows like this just never saw this one till now.
Boston Legal?
This is ten times better than the over-edited crap you see today.
agreed
Very cool, Love these black & white shows
A brilliant movie, my first time seeing this one and I'm very glad I came across it
Great show and an outstanding episode! Watching these old shows one sees Schatner quite often. He is a really good actor!
.......and then Jeffrey Hunter sadly died..." the king is dead; long live the king".....and he has!...William is 90, bless his heart!
Nothing against Hunter, but he was too much the pretty boy for Star Trek. Shatner nailed it.
@@nunyabizness6595Right. And he was not the actor that Shatner was
I saw the way the woman looked at Shatner's character when he left the restaurant, I had a feeling she had something in mind.
It sure was nice to hear Shatner speaking in a " normal " cadence.
Thanks so much for uploading this! Shatner’s diction is so different here from his usual 🙂
if he had a guilty verdict he would have called the Enterprise and have Scotty beam him up
Good thing he did not go to 'Bones', 'Dannit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a lawyer!'

Really good show! Never ever knew of it before! Thank you for uploading this show!
My dad used to watch this when I was a little girl, and now I’m enjoying why🔥💥🧐🧐🧐Thank you for uploading💖💝❣️🎊🎉
Weird seeing James Kirk and Mike Brady together
Woww another rare Shatner performance in his prime!!! I wonder if he sees these videos of himself!
Doubt it.
He's admitted several times publicly that he goes out of his way to avoid watching anything he's been in.
I vaguely remember the TV show. It's always worth watching Shatner at work.
@@C21L01 It's common for actors to avoid watching their work. You can't enjoy the story because you will be grading your performance all the while thinking of ways you could have done a better job. Also, as you get older and improve you will find watching your oldest work quite embarrassing because you will be able to see how bad you were.
Also you don't want to mix your older characters in to a new character.
If he lives to 160 or so then he is in his prime now and he was just a baby back then.
Bill was so young! Thanks for posting this.
William Shatner is a Canadian national treasure.
remembers seeing reruns of these shows...when I was a kid...is good to see them again
I was surprised how busy William Shatner been through the years as an actor....
Some of the movies and shows William Shatner appeared in I never seen.I did see some of them like judgement in Noremburg the intruder the Man from Uncle with future co star Leonard Nimoy.
Me too. I didn't know.
One of the hardest working actors ever.
@@indranidasgupta8982 Look for his 1950s work in television dramas. He's all over the place. He was highly regarded in the industry before being cast as Captain Kirk. Many of his scenes show him as a quiet, intelligent man with dry humor but he charged into Kirk, giving space to Nimoy to contrast Kirk with Spock's quiet logic. Nimoy credits Shatner with this. If you want to really send up a hoot, though, find Shatner as Alexander the Great, in a tv pilot that thankfully didn't sell.
@@marysheeran519I’ve been a Shatner fan since the early 80s, so I know all of what you wrote, but thanks anyway bc someone else might see what we both know 😊

OMG, I knew he looked familiar!
OH yes that's what it was! I couldn't for the life of me remember what episode that fellow (Frank Overton) was in! Thank you! I always loved it when Spock and McCoy showed their real characters (as it were).
Elias Sandoval
From the show The Defenders this episode aired November 24th,1962 and was directed by John Newland ( One Step Beyond)
That was great show.
Shatner was great in an episode of One Step Beyond, too.
I remember watching the Defenders in Malta in 1962....with Italian subtitles! In the summer, the Maltese would watch their screens from the cool of the outside pavements!
Newland also directed one great episode of the original Star Trek, "Errand of Mercy". Shame he didn't do more.
That’s interesting - “terra nova” is Latin for “new land.” Coincidence? I THINK NOT! 😀
“Faith doesn’t require understanding. It just is”. Amen!
Let me pull this one out from Wikipedia: "In particular, religions such as Judaism, Islam and the Baháʼí Faith teach the need for revealed positive law for both state and society, whereas other religions such as Christianity generally reject the idea that this is necessary or desirable, and instead emphasise the eternal moral precepts of divine law over the civil, ceremonial or judicial aspects, which may have been annulled as in theologies of grace over law."
The law is not a matter of Faith, it is a matter of gathering facts and delivering these facts to a Judge or common people. So, save your Halleluja, brother.

Just saw shatner in a movie he made this year. He's 90 years of age and in incredible shape.
What about 'mental' shape? That is part & parcel of being a Human being, is it not? He is a vegetarian, to start with the physical, but the mental aspect has been revealed on 60 minutes that he has disturbing issues that have to do with loneliness and he lives in fear of death; that doesn't sound like he is in good shape at all.
@@TAROTAI most if not all fear death
Amazed he's a vegetarian though. That's incredible
@@TAROTAI that is the human condition. The difference is he admits it.
@@TAROTAI he has the God emptiness! Pray he seees the truth! Pray God touch his heart! He is such a good guy but that won't cut it at the judgment!
Kevin Casserley. Shatner is also the oldest person to ever travel in space.
Very well done... just saw this ... great story and acting and script...
What a quality show The Defenders was. TV programming was loaded in those days with great morality plays. Some like this were set in the courtroom, others like Bonanza and The Virginian set in the West, still others like the Twilight Zone set in a place of imagination. How many prime time programs do this today? Sadly
Leonard Nimoy was talking to William Shatner about how hard it was to get parts when he was starting out then he said to William 'I bet you didn't find it hard' where upon he said 'Erm no' with a beautiful face like his there's no wonder.
DA Bryan - Frank Overton - played Elias Sandoval in Star Trek episode This Side of Paradise.
Played General Bogel in the classic Fail Safe movie
@@gkprivate433 Great movie. Scary times.
William Shatner is a brilliant actor. Perfect.
Ha! Robert Reed pre-perm fro.
A few years later Mr. Caranova became disgruntled with his job and his marriage was on the rocks, so one day, while drowning his sorrows at a local bar, he met a man who claimed to be from the future. The man he met was named Scotty, they became friends. Later Scotty invited him on board his ship. He was very impressed and wanted to stay, so after a few years training, Mr. Caranova became captain of the Starship Enterprise, and the rest is history. Even though it hasn't happened yet.
Very entertaining and compelling show.
Was A great series. Too bad only season 1 has been released on DVD
Thank you for putting these on I love them nevercseenbem before.
Wow. That was great. Thanks for posting this video. I’m going to look for other episodes. Yes, Shatner’s performance was very strong.
Oh my goodness. I watched this series when on TV.
Decent plot. Of course Shatner later did Boston Legal. He was a smart man. He really had to hustle to make a living and all those experiences come into play during life.
He was always evolving! I never known him not to be working and he had such longevity in Hollywood because he went from James T Kirk,TJ Hooker , Rescue911 host, and Denny Crane among other shows such as Columbo, Big Valley and Mission Impossible!
Good performance by Shatner!
SUPERB ACTING!!!
What a fantastic 30 year prequel to Boston Legal! Thank You Ruby for posting these. I wish I has found your channel earlier in Quarantine (smile).
I’d never seen The Defenders before watching several episodes recently on UA-cam. It seems almost like British television in the way it relies on good writing and acting to explore human issues. As the 1960s progressed, we had less and less of this kind of quality television in the US. It’s kind of refreshing to see this kind of idealism in our entertainment history, since it’s hardly what we’re known for in our TV drama.
The Defenders was deemed by CBS as too left wing. In 1965 it was scheduled to a later time and was shortly canned by CBS.
Everyone loves William Shatner. Maybe all that good energy is keeping him so young!
We should all be so lucky to be loved like that!💞💞💞❤💞💞💞
Plus he's a vegetarian! 💞💞💞💞💞
Loves animals. 😇🥰💞💞💞💞💞💞
I had no idea he was a vegetarian.
GOD, he was a DOLL!!!!!!!💗🧡💛💚💙💜💙💚💛🧡💗
When the good we're good, and the bad were bad.
Great show.
Thank you again.

Lois Smith (Mrs Terranova) is 92 with a resume as extensive as Shatner's. What a dish.
Love him, always have. Betrays his Canadian background by asking a question and then ending with, 'eh', LOL
Long live the great shat man!
So Mike Brady was a lawyer before he got married and had six kids . .
Damn it, Jim, he's a lawyer, not an architect!

He had 3 kids (boys) & his wife had 3 girls. Together they became the Brady Bunch. 👧👩👩🦱 🧑🏻🦱👦🏻🧒🏻
Shatner played Reed's role in the 1957 STUDIO ONE production that was the basis for the series, "The Defender"...the producers offered him the role but he turned it down--but he did agree to make at least one appearance a season on this and other shows they did. By 1965 he accepted their offer to star in the short-lived series FOR THE PEOPLE, where he played a district attorney.
Who, in their right minds, would convict Captain James T. Kirk?

@@howiecricket52 it’s a joke Man
Thoughtful and complex
There are a lot of life lessons in that show. It was a time when the world was much simpler and values were accentuated. Before the drug culture and social welfare crippled many peoples spiritual nature with dependence.
Classic Shatner.
I watched The Defenders as a little kid. This brought back great memories. And I didn’t know that Captain James Tiberius Kirk was in this episode. Also, E. G. Marshal was wonderful as in all that he did.
That fella talking to SHATNER is veteran actor JOE MAROSS who since the mid 1950s tru the late 1970s was seen on ALL TV SERIES as guest star!!!! and note that 1960 CHEVROLET across street from restaurant********
Great show, if only things were this way in reality!
Thank you Ruby Pearl, for this great tv series from so long ago. Will check your channel from now often!

I never really thought William Shatner was a good actor until I began watching these shows from the 1960s. I'm surprised!
EG Marshall always did great, especially in law oriented roles.
Love William Shatner. So underrated.
Wonderful 🎭. 💕💕 William Shatner💕💕💕
Mary Finn is also Miss Johnson. The Collinwood servant on the gothic soap opera "Dark Shadows"
Loved the dialogue. So simple, straight and true.
E.G. was very good here as well. A grossly underestimated actors.
Thanks! It'd be great if the whole series found its way on DVD.
Ain't that the truth!!! Perhaps if season 1 sells to their expectations, they'll release more .
I'm only 20 minutes through, but why hasn't the daughter been charged with bribery?
Faith is a weakness. What we need more of is skepticism.
Faith on government adds up to total insanity.
What great acting from a 50 minute tv series. No wonder they called it The Golden Age of Television, sadly never to be seen again. Thank you for uploading it. By the way, does anybody know what is that beautiful painting behind the judge in the courtroom?
Now a 1hr show is 40 minutes.
