Reviews:
"While watching this episode I thought someone was in the next room playing classical music over a piano. But to my astonishment, it was elegant music that was part of the background music for this episode. Not only was it unneeded but was extremely loud.
Two scene take the cake for the most annoying music during a scene in any western--- no, make that any show. The first was when Rita Marlowe (Ruta Lee) and Ben were talking in the den area of the Ponderosa. While they were talking- I could swear someone was in the room playing a piano for fun. The second was when Mase (The prizefighter) and Rita was outside discovering their love. It was like watching a drama that was also cut with a cartoon sound track.
The story involves the alcoholic Rita Marlowe that uses the love of a shy innocent retired fighter named Maze Sindell. Rita uses Maze so that she can escape the small town way-of-life and begin again in the big city. But it seems that Maze's love runs deeper that Rita ever thought.
They story was not really that bad but the back ground music made the whole show annoying. Ruta Lee was actually very good in her part. And the show ended with an upbeat feeling. But it could not escape the noise of the music." Written by kfo9494 on IMDb.com
"Ruta Lee and Don Megowan guest star in this Bonanza episode. Ruta is a widow who Ben Cartwright knew back in the day. But Lorne Greene knew her as a wife with two children. She was the only one who escaped from a hotel fire that killed her family. Now she sings in saloons and drinks up half the bar at the same time.
Megowan is a former heavyweight boxing contender who has hung up the bare knuckles and now works as a saloon swamper. He and Ruta are hitting it off and he gets an offer to stay five rounds from his former manager Harry Hickox to stay with his new boy Roger Torrey.
It's right about now we find out just how twisted and hard hearted Ruta has become.
The guest casts definitely takes over this Bonanza story. You'll not forget Ruta Lee in this one." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

No one is as kind and caring as Ben and his Sons.
This is really true. They are almost like saints.
Yes! 😊
Wow. That was quite an ending. I liked the ending because Rita came to her senses and she did the right thing. She realized that Mace really did love her deeply. I was really touched when Rita threw away the $200 after she realized that she made a terrible mistake after she saw Mace's face because he refused to fight. He was only in the ring because he loved her and she finally realized that. I cried at the ending.

@@GrjngoWesternSeries Thank you Grjngo. I will. 🙂
I am seeing more & more things re Bonanza and a big thing is how they, tho' wealthy, highly educated, they never got caught in the "class trap-or war." They cared about people that others would walk over, always sharing, helping when they could. Had I been rich, as Ben, I would have loved having so much that I could change other's lives for the better.
Superb script, acting and direction. Rita Lee was a perfect anti-heroine. Don Megowan also played his role well, as well as the supporting cast. Loren Greene as Ben again personifies kindness, wisdom and empathy. This is what made Bonanza so great and at the top of its genre and drama in general. Many thanks for airing such a fine episode.
Kimberley and ggg
bonanza was never a great show because they made it exactly for people like you....simple stories silly stories to emphasize the cast....and not real life....Ben Cartwright...so kind full of wisdom full of empathy....but...they never wrote a single show where the people he helped ....helped him when he needed them..not a single episode..if you understand that typical tact...you would never call bonanza a great show

@@jadezee6316 They made it for the times. This show aired from 1959 to 1973. Back then everything was simplified on television. So many things couldn't be touched on the small screen largely because of censorship & the innocence of the time. Also, television was looked to simply as entertainment, a temporary escape from everyday problems & something a family could sit down & enjoy together. What you said here about Bonanza could be said about EVERY tv show of that time & every show had it's own formula it followed week after week. That aside, you even saying this would say to me you probably didn't see a lot of the later Bonanzas. As television grew up, so did Bonanza. It was on for 14 years because of the quality of the program. Later episodes were not always so simple & touched on more serious issues & more in depth characters. Watch the last 5 or 6 complete seasons or so & then see if you feel the same. There are reasons it lasted 14 years & may have gone another year or 2 or 3 if Dan Blocker had not died.
@@cmurdock5256
Think you've wasted time replying to Jade.
Unhappy Jade that is.
A very intense feature again, I won't repeat what I was feeling for this blonde beauty? However, the all sensing father and friend Ben Cartwright interviews and again express wisdom where selfish self pity on one hand and selfless willingness to gratify on the other, and is balanced into love, the greatest healer, and giver of all. Thank you Bonanza family for another fine example of how life should feel,, and look like.
Great episode. Loved Don Megowan. Ben saves the day again 🦋
Wow...the piano in the background totally killed this episode
Piano 🎹 playing was horrible at times.
I was about to comment about that music and saw it here.
What were they thinking?
Iv been loosing it at the music to! Then i read your comment. So true
I'm wondering if someone dubbed it in later to avoid copy right issues. I can't remember ever hearing piano like that in a bonanza episode before.
The distorted music was obviously a representation of her distorted mind
I'm a 70 year man and that was a tear jerker!!
Rita (Ruta Lee) carried the show. What a performance.
Ruta Lee! I haven't thought of her in years! She used to be in a lot of these shows (in fact, I'm pretty sure this isn't the only episode of Bonanza she was in). I looked her up; she's still alive and kicking at 86.
Ruta Lee played a "famous" actress in "The Andy Griffith Show." That was a completely different character. She was a superb actress! Thank you for the update about her.
Ruta Lee has gorgeous eyes and a super cute little figure. First time I remember seeing her was on Andy Griffith. She played a Hollywood starlet. She was wearing glamorous dresses and looking really cute in top form. I think she could be a fun person to hang out with and even more fun to marry.
I remember that episode of "The Andy Griffith Show." I loved the pink sparkling dress she wore in that show.
I loved this episode, it shows feelings and true romance!
Glad you enjoyed it! You may also enjoy this film: ua-cam.com/video/I_6Pr7dWjQc/v-deo.html
Yeah, but too bad about the soundtrack. I guess they could only afford a piano player with zero sense of harmony--by the end it was driving me nuts. 🤠
This show sure does make me cry a lot. Love the love I guess!
Ben teaches men respect women love Cartwright family
😢 beautiful storyline
Bonanza never dissapoints❤
I love watching bonanza so much that I always wait till the theme song goes off before I turn off my phone.
I love bonanza grew up watching this. And love watching it now thank u
Thank you for your nice comment! Be sure to check out this movie as well: ua-cam.com/video/i9I2A5xi65I/v-deo.html
That ride must have really played havoc with her hangover.
droll
I like the moral dilemmas and the life lessons in the show. ✝️🙏⚖️🇺🇸
Interesting piano music in this episode that’s out of the usual.
That was extremely moving...Thank you for posting.
❤️
Did anyone else notice The magnificent A tonal Piano music in this episode ? Truly remarkable for the time.
Oh wow...that was a good episode.
Very good episode, but the piano playing in the background drives me up the wall
Bizarre musical score throughout. What on earth was in their minds?
Cocaine mostly.
Agreed!
The cartwright must be angels , they do nothing wrong and help the whole world
Bet you didn't know that The Ponderosa is also an alcoholic rehab center. 😉 yup.
Μ
I live in Clark NJ about 10 mins from a once farm up until about 7 yrs ago. The house is still there but separate from the rest of the land which is now a park called Ponderosa Park. They used to have small farm animals before the farm became a park.
In the description it says something about the piano playing in the background what they don't understand is that she was a successful singer who had her world turned upside down the music you're hearing is a distorted version of her memories of her career but only in a drunken stupor if you've ever had an addiction to alcohol or any other substance and were invested into your music you'd understand more clearly what the writer was aiming at through this episode !!
Thank you for taking the time to explain the deep meaning behind the discordent music in this episode.
@@melodyfleck9368 you're very welcome !!
@CIR GOLD. That was well said! Thanks.
I didn't read the description, but I noticed the music and thought it was very well done, coordinating with and adding to the drama in the scenes.
@@lynettepalecek3141 Thank You ❤️
15:55 she can't even keep or appreciate a bouquet of flowers?! Wow
That was just the script writer's way of making it clear she was a cold hearted bitch.
That showed that she was very deeply depressed.
Amazing episode. I read the comments. Pianist David Rose performed a brilliant achromatic score, that was outside the standard fare, and likely upset Western fans. A brave move to do this on Bonanza.
Any Western fan that was upset by the achromatic score is an idiot!
Bullsheet! He was a g2y!!!!!!!!!!
The music tells us exactly what is going on with the central figure in this drama, her desperate condition. The dialogue and acting alone would not have achieved this. The piano was a stroke of genius. In a way, this was hearkening back to the use of music in the silent movies, before voice was added to film.
The dark circles drawn under her eyes by the make-up artist also elaborated on her desperate condition.
@That was well said!
@@melodyfleck9368 I noticed that too.
Women have not changed much. I wish I would have had found a guy like that in my life.
Mari, that is a sad comment. I'm sorry. What did you think of the piano Music? Personally I didn't care for it. To me it sounded awkward and out of place.
@@billh.5360 Some of it was in the saloon and I’m guessing might have been really being played in the background.
Can you pls bundle these into seasons so I can binge watch them? Would be much appreciated!
Who is this idiot
just fantastic...i loved it..thank you ❤❤❤
23:15 "Why, You do baby!" Good job being gregarious. :)
Thank You for the upload
Boxing is inhuman. Period.
So is hunting for sport.
Lots of things are inhuman, WAR, religion, killing animals, destroying Mother Earth, government, pharmaceuticals, insurance, having hate instead of love, apathy.
Boxing is the worlds toughest sport , full stop .
@@melaniemansfield3319 You new age hell bound reprobate.
I think so too! I don't like boxing ever
All those guns and no-one shot that piano player!?!
The volume on your videos is always good and loud! Thank you!
Ben Cartwright very generous man I would have kick Mrs Marlo out my house. This is great episode.
I´m guessing a month at the Ponderosa will put her life in order again.
What a great story line. Virtuous indeed. And that is what makes the Bonanza episodes GREAT.
The music was irritating.
Its horrible😰
@@DeborahRose2885 I now
It must be meant to be music in her head, harsh and constant, like a madness.
@@elainedaprano9130 o ya from the sulon
@@elainedaprano9130 Right on.
19:38 the woman finishes a tear jerking story and the piano player plays some kind of holly jolly knees up music
It's so nice to watch TV shows demonstrating good, kind and caring Christian Values.
If Bonanza was still on TV in 2021 the Ratings would be sky-high.
There are no good, kind and caring Christian Values demonstrated in Hollywood TV shows/movies today 2021.
This was a Dilettante Presumption Theorem: All statements of fact, opinion, or analysis expressed do not necessarily reflect official positions or views or any other entity, past or present.

lol..good christian values that averaged 4 murders an episode..its a t v show dude....
and hate to tell you but..it is rather clownish to think a comment that has no authority requires a disclaimer...except for the massive delusion you apparently live under....
but i can assure you WITH authority that no one has any interest in you or your pomposity..lol...get back on your meds!
Don't listen to Jade, their comment was oozing with negativity. Look at all that ooze. And, yes, I've noticed that many of these episodes do teach Christian values. In the Last Haircut for example, Ben prevented Joe from murdering by reminding him how God deals with vengeance. And of course, no one in these shows blasphemes God or has sex outside of marriage or swears, or other disgusting things we see today. I'll never say that this show completely pure morally, it's not, but compared to the unholy smut we see today, it comes close.
@@yougetagoldstar Good coherent Post .
It couldn’t have been on the air in 2021 because by that time all of the principle actors were deceased.
@@yougetagoldstar There is swearing. But the words used were considered profanity in the 1800s, just not today.
And there was implied sex - camera panning away, etc.
Now, THAT, almost made me cry!
Yeah, it pulled hard.
Ruta Lee was also in "The Andy Griffith Show" and she was in "The Wild, Wild West" show.
I really like the music in this episode.
Boy are you alone.
Now I see the symbolism of it. She was lost. She threw down the "30 pieces of silver", as it were. (Like Judas) .... Mace was a pacifist. Like Jesus didn't fight back, but He became bruised for our sins, and wounded for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed ...... Isaiah 53. Because He loved us ....
47:16 she dropped it like Judas throwing down the 30 pieces of silver
The music played during the scene between Rita and Benwhen she tells him how her husband and children died was so loud, distracting, and totally inappropriate for the saying that it was hard to concentrate on the actors! It was a very strange choice of noise for this emotional scene.
It's supposed to show how garish and terrible her life is now, juxtaposed against the way she used to live. They don't have a ton of time to cover things so that's how they express it.
The distorted music was obviously a representation of her distorted mind
Wow! A $1000.00 just to stay in the ring for a few rounds and than another $200 to the girl. Must be a rich manager to give that much money away. I paused the fight scene a few times and counted about 30 men at the fight. Been that your average pay back in then days is $1:00 day, I assume admission fee wouldn't be much more then that. That is a whopping 30 bucks made at the box office. Ok lets say I miss counted and there was 50 men in attendance and they all paid $5:00 to get in. Well that covers the girls $200 dollars, plus 50 profit.
The real money was made ( or lost ) through the side betting.
You're not taking this seriously are you?😄 anything is possible in tv land.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. The only way to make it logical is the big fights in the big cities made them a lot of money, so they had plenty to throw around. They were only there so the fighter could add Mace to his list of dead meat.
A Woman Lost is a realistic picture of alcoholism. Unfortunately, it is considered a social disease, but is treatable. Enjoying a drink once in a while to relax is fine. I personally like Brandy. But a few shots to relax and get some great sleep. Brandy allows the lungs to clear of gunk and has a pleasant after flavor. When I had mononucleosis, in college, I almost died, but my mother's boyfriend, an awesome person, forced me to drink 3 shots of brandy to get me to sleep. Well, lo and behold, I slept great, my lungs cleared up and I felt great. Louis saved my tail, or I could have died from how bad I had mononucleosis.
In Western movies in general it is a hilarious detail how sloppily they always tither the horse upon arrival to any place, and the horse never run away!
Ha ha lol I always think the same thing
I have watched about all 400 episodes and they often just toss the reins over a tree branch.... lol.. and the horses and dogs are all so well-trained.
I do not find the piano soundtrack a distraction at all! It symbolizes the chaos in the character Rita Marlowe’s mind. In places, it reminded me of some of Charles Ives’ piano improvisations.
The music in this episode reminds of the polka tune that played the night Blanche DuBois' husband shot himself. It is a Streetcar Named Ponderosa.
I completely agree.
❤❤❤❤❤
One of the things I notice more about this program that I did not see as a boy is just exactly how much fighting and personal violence is used to prove the definition of MANHOOD. If that really is true, then in some ways, the future understandings of what constitutes masculinity has become better than it was in the late 50s and early 60s. Thank God for that, at least.
What are you talking about , male and female roles gave been blurred so much its not known anymore , make turning into females and vice versa ,,,, get real will you .
@@patrickkparrker413 He has too much soy on the noodle...
Great story
Annoying piano
I guess it's the goal, but that mad cap background music is driving me nuts...distracting from an otherwise good story and strong acting performances.
Wow that painting at 11:32 …..🫢For a show in the 60s and a saloon in the late 1800s that’s kinda risqué Lol. Or maybe it really wasn’t back then, anyone know for sure.
Earlier, when she first approached Mace, and said she was trying to "stay out of trouble," she should've taken up a project like gardening, basket-weaving, sewing, knitting . . .
What a sexist comment.
Why don't you suggest that to the writers! Maybe they will take you up on it!😆😆😆😆
@@mjohn9199 THAT WAS NOT A SEXIST COMMENT, YOU JERK!!!!
@C Gallagher. I agree. Ignore M John. What you said was not sexist at all!!
He was bad guy on first season now he good guy he came on rifeman i think
God's is the best
G pernah nonton d tv... nostalgia
That lady plays a floozie every show she's in
About half the time. When she plays someone classy she's a knock-out.
The piano in the background was a bit off. Meaning it did not tie in with the scenes.
Dick Miller as the salty manager
Great episode.But the WORST MUSICAL SCORE EVER!!!!!!
Very good but didn't make sense that Ben didn't tell him about the $200 before the fight but he didn't mention the $200 so that they could have the final scene of her dropping the money. Even if he didn't mention the $200 specifically, Ben should have said something before the fight, it felt like such a glaring omission when he didn't. They could have still had increasing pleas by Ben. It also didn't make much sense to me why he didn't go longer evading the hits while he was fresh. A boxer needs to take risks to get into position to land a big punch but if focused only on blocking and avoiding, he should last longer IMHO. The crowd reaction wasn't appropriate. They should have been shouting for him to fight back. Most of those in the crowd would know why he doesn't fight any more. It was ok but wasn't compelling. Ben already told him that she got travelling money for talking him into the fight, so it doesn't make any real sense to throw it away. Could have seen her handing it to him, saying "Here, you earned this. I don't even need it anymore." (because I'm staying right here).
You never did see any other woman enter a saloon in all of Bonanza’s history. Only women in there were the saloon “girls”. Women not allowed!
That woman needed counciling and to go Alcohol Anonymous at the say time. She is sick. Ben couldn't help her, but he tried
Right,maybe she needs Jeeeeesus,
They didn't have Alcohol Anonymous in that time period.
No Alcohol Anonymous in that time period.
@@mjohn9199 obviously we know that and I think the comment was to mean if someone was in this shape today.
was this music in the original show ? it is way too loud and distracting
Isnt that the fighter that almost killed little joe in season 1 😂
10:22
....what could possibly go wrong?!
30:02 I thought he pulled out his smartphone and started texting 🙂
Complainers, go elsewhere. You can't get the moral of the story. Your loss.
I agree 100 percent.
Ben and his sons are always trying to help someone get on their feet but they don’t have anyone to love!
They love each other.
this woman has perfect diction.
It just shows that alcoholism can make a bitch out of the nicest person. I've never seen Ben threaten a woman before.
What up with the music?
And mace’s purple nose? Think he was a drinker?
Reminds me of my alcoholic sister. Been thst way for 35 years. Not a moral fiber in her body and 60 years old. I cant stand the sight of her. Disgusting!
A tragic story , God help her .
When it is all said and done, she is your sister. You wouldn't place 'me' infront if her.
@@glynisgibson3986 we need to remember alcoholism is a disease.
8:19. She sees to be implying that she'd have no qualms about sneaking into Hop Sing's kitchen, or pantry, and drinking brandy or cooking Sherry, etc.etc
Gads you've got to be in really bad shape to want to drink cooking sherry. Yeccchhh!
@C Gallagher. I guess that's what being an alcoholic does to a person just like a smoker would do anything for a cigarette 🚬. I was never an alcoholic and I never smoked at all so I'm just guessing.
This was the guy who beat the shit out of little joe in the 1st season
What date was this episode broadcast?
I'm fairly sure the music is put there by google. I have learned that some people have found a way to turn it off but haven't been able to discover how. Not all people get the irritating noise. I have watched a vid with terrible music yet watched the same vid on someone else's comp and there is no music, but she doesn't know how I can turn it off on mine.
If you find out how to turn the music off, PLEASE let us know.
Was the music added by someone else or was it part of the show, it is jarring, ruins the over all experience.
couldn't handle the loud irritating music, it was not in the original video, it spoiled it, such a shame.
It gave me a headache :(
I disagree, I think it was very appropriate.
Try watching the episode on another download. I do that if something is in repeated downloads of the same show when it’s blurry or sound is bad or off
Great story but definitely the worst, most horrible piano playing I ever heard (way too loud for background music too)! What kind of bad movie director did put this in!? Nevertheless of course: Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this old series.
Best regards luck and health.
35:03 that annoying piano music, is just a reflection of her troubled soul
The girl is no good... What happened to the second horse on the buggy after she arrive and the saloon! They carry on to the ponderoza as if they never had one...9:30-12:30? 😂😂😂
42:44 .... Oh, _now_ you tell me!!!!
20:41 morality by itself, without any mention of Jesus . . . There is no Life or Joy or Peace, without Jesus Christ. As Jesus and the Holy Spirit confer the wisdom, the Life, the peace, that we deeply need. And a relationship with Jesus is crucial. John chapter 3 and chapter 4.
I agree completely!!!
37:39 $200 back then was worth more than $2000 (?)
45:09 Mace is a pacifist! Wow
Sorry, but the piano music through this episode was awkward, out of place and flat out annoying. It contributed to the program like mustard "contributes" to chocolate ice cream!
Great episode shame about the crazy piano player! totally out of place.
Pasenlo al castellano x favor
Actually an episode Joe didn't fall in love with an actress
28:27 Does anyone know what is edited here?
Ok that ridiculous piano music playing during her horrific story of her family dieing in a fire was so very much annoying and uncalled for.
