The little girl was a fine actress. Her tears and facial expressions in the barn scene were extraordinary.
I REMEMBER HER FROM OL YELLER
@@davidwatsonii9469 Remembered the same girl, just forgot it was called "Old Yeller" was all.
I remember her from years ago. I have to look up her name, but i agree. She was a natural for the part.
One of the best of the dozens of TV westerns in the late 50s. Too bad there are so few available.
Loved the show I'm 81 and remember all the old shows and commercials. Smoked Viceroys and Kools.Glad I quit 45 years ago though!
I'm glad too👍
A time when they didn’t put the chemicals and additives in the ciggies to keep you addicted. They were straight tobacco.
I always liked this over many others, I seen very little Gunsmoke, , no TV .but this is my favorite. I smoked Viceroy, I was “thinking”,I ❤️quit after 6 years
Tony Sinagro....Congratulations on putting those killers down..!! My father died from cigarette cancer in 2005. He was about 78. He had been smoking since he was a kid and he was completely addicted physically and psychologically. Even when he was on oxygen for a lot of the day, he still smoked in-between. He had only half of one lung that wasn't dead and it wasn't until he had to be on oxygen 24/7 that he was finally forced to not smoke. What a waste of an intelligent and hard working man. Once again...congratulations...!!
Beverly Washburn, now 79, had a busy childhood. By the time she was 16 she had appeared in 10 films and more than 500 television programs.
Beverly Washburn was born on November 25, 1943 in Los Angeles, California, USA. She is an actress, known for Old Yeller (1957), Star Trek (1966) and Spider Baby or, the Maddest Story Ever Told (1967). She is married to Michael Radell.
Personal Quotes (3)
[her memories of working on Shane (1953)] The movie was shot on location in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Alan Ladd and I both went up the chair lift to the top of a mountain. I went down the lift by myself, but Ladd was too scared to come down! Finally, they sent a helicopter to rescue him; he was too chicken to go down. The cast and crew never let him hear the end of it!
[on how she was cast in Spider Baby or, the Maddest Story Ever Told (1967)] How I got that role is a story in itself. One day I was shopping at a grocery store in Los Angeles, where I lived, and I noticed that every time I looked up, there was a guy in the same aisle staring at me. He seemed to be following me and finally he approached me and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, and I don't mean to be staring, but aren't you an actress? You look very familiar." He then said he was involved in the making of a horror movie and would like me to come in and audition. I wasn't sure if he was for real because the auditions that I always went on were set up through my agent. He then said the name of the movie was "Cannibal Orgy". Although he was very nice, it seemed a little odd to me, but then he said the film was starring legendary horror icon Lon Chaney Jr. I still wasn't sure if he was for real, but he didn't ask for my home phone number, he just gave me the audition info and told me to have my agent get in touch with them. That made it seem legitimate, so I had my agent call the next day and set it up.
[on Brandon De Wilde, with whom she worked in Shane (1953)] Brandon was a brat! So precocious. He didn't like girls, and he would pull my pigtails and chase me around the set.
Cannibal Orgy.................Spider Baby is a 1967 black horror comedy film, written and directed by Jack Hill. It stars Lon ... series of title changes, being billed alternatively as The Liver Eaters, Attack of the Liver Eaters, Cannibal Orgy, and The Maddest Story Ever Told.
Surprised commercials are included.
I used to watch this show midday when I was still in single digits and home all. I loved his horse.
Rory Calhoun was a great actor!! Loved the Texan series, just wish it lasted longer than 2 seasons.
That was Calhoun's decision.
That was Mason Adams in the commercial. He was on LOU GRANT and the voice of Smuckers.
In my opinion this is one of the best shows ever made!!!!
Rory Calhoun was great in this!!!!
Loved it, remember watching it as a kid. Love the old westerns
Rory was an excellent actor.
It shows here. Good voice. Good changes of facial expressions.
"The Texan" was (and still is) one of the best westerns ever!
+Joseph Pratt I just ordered the DVD set! It's way before my time, but I love the old Westerns (thanks to my Dad!). Looking forward to watching the 70 episodes!
Got the DVD set about three years ago...went through them all, great series, love me some Rory Calhoun...I also liked 'the rebel' starring nick Adams, and the restless gun. America has fallen a long ways culturally since these type of shows disappeared
This was a good western series with Rory Calhoun in the primary role of "The Texan." Thank you so much for letting me view it.
My big sister died she was only 60 years old. Cigarettes killed her. She had been smoking them since she was 13 years old. I’ve never seen a picture of her without a cigarette in her hand. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Don't recall this series here in Australia way back when. Many thanks for sharing.
Michael pate from Sydney Australia
Another Favorite American Western Actor of Mine Rory Calhoon! ;) ..
This guy can stand and walk with the best of them.
Wellll-I remember this and I'm 64 next Monday, so I bet you can't be too much younger, but great to see other people remember some of these great old shows. RIP Rory Calhoun-one of the great underrated action actors.
Thank you 4 sharing The Texan with us. Waited 54 years for this. Used to watch it at a neighbours place with dad. Loved it then, still impressed. Rory ia a class act, literally. My 1st comment post. Just learned about youtube so off to track down "Kontiki and Hawiian Eye", I hope! 2 more 50s classics not seen in over 50 yrs.Cheers, once again th u so much.
Ray Teal ...the future Sheriff of Bonanza. He’s born to be Sheriff I reckon. Thanks for posting
Correct ✅
Thanks for uploading this episode.
I thought I knew almost all of the old western shows but i never heard of this one, glad i found it.
AS A CHILD I USED TO LOVE WATCHING THIS SHOW !! I WAS ABOUT FIVE YEARS OLD , AND "THE TEXAN" WAS IN SYNDICATION BY THAT TIME . HERE IN NEW YORK CITY, I BELIEVE IT WAS ON WNEW-CHANNEL 5. ASIDE FROM THE TENSE SERIOUS ACTION DRAMA , I LOVED THE ENDING THEME SONG !! AWESOME !! YEARS LATER I HEARD THE SONG IN A HORROR SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE CALLED "THE HIDEOUS SUN DEMON " !! THIS PROGRAM STILL ROCKS TODAY !! IT WAS MADE DURING THE TIME WHEN T.V. WAS AT IT'S BEST !! RORY CALHOUN WAS THE PERFECT ACTOR FOR THIS SHOW !! THANK YOU stuartfanning FOR POSTING THIS GEM !! THANK YOU YOU/TUBE !!
Nowadays,it’s WNYW-TV in NY ch 5.
Great episode! Thanks.
I remember all the cigarette commercials from those days...
That’s the sheriff from bonanza and the fast gunfighter is Michael Pate He was an Australian who went to America, and he was in everything playing Cowboys Indians, Romans everything very popular man in Australia, to have his own tv series TV in Australia 🇦🇺
Did enjoy film - but not all the ads.
Don't get me wrong I've been a smoker since an early teenager.
The ads spoilt the flow of the film.
Keep these Western movies coming
Do appreciate and thanks for making them available.
Rory Calhoun could have been one of the top stars of a very long running Western series. They never quite made him come alive - his quirks, his life, his traits.
one of my favorite parts of this shows is the closing music
I remember this TV show as a child. I never realized how the TV stars must have had to do Cigarette commercials as well. I am glad times have changed in that way. But I do miss the touching stories that had humanity and morality. We have grown more sophisticated, but do we really care about each other as people anymore?
I’m from São Paulo - Brazil and l’m member the Cineclube dos Amigos do Western-CAW.
This is a wonderful movie , I enjoyed every minute of it . Thanks for sharing .
"The Texan" main title: Bill (Rory Calhoun) loosening the saddle's cinch right after dismounting his steed -- from riding for 'how long, we don't know' -- is a nice touch. Definitely unique. He treats his strong, beautiful horse with consideration and kindness. The "business" of loosening the holstered Colt revolver, a gunfighter's tool -- thereby getting ready for any lethal encounter likely to occur in town -- we've seen lots of times. But looking after the horse like this -- no, not so much.
This episode, 'Tears for the Dead': Today the PC crowd at the network would cut / censor from the script any "business" with Henrietta (Beverly Washburn) brandishing the rifle, like on Bill there at the beginning, i.e. "Guns and kids -- NEVER! Not on our show."
. . . I must say Bill responded to Henrietta with authority and firmness yet warmth and gentleness of a humanitarian that a suddenly-made orphan desperately deserves, and in time, will appreciate. Henrietta and we viewers appreciate his honoring the dying man's death wish. I might add: showing no disrespect to the girl's father, Bill could have told Henrietta later in the half hour that crying -- and especially crying over a lost loved one -- is only natural; to be expected.
If I could find any fault with this episode it would be the quality of acting of the villain did not reach the heights of Rory Calhoun's, Beverly Washburn's, and adult guest stars, Carole Mathews's (Bess, the widow) and Ray Teal's (sheriff). Plotwise, a line of dialogue referencing Bill and/or the town's leaders providing some financial support on behalf of Henrietta, to facilitate Bess -- probably "just getting by" -- taking on the welfare of this addition to her home.
. . . How nice to hear the backstory of Bill's relationship with the Bess's one-time husband -- they were best buds during the war. Anything that brings us closer to knowing more of the star character's DNA. Which reminds me, another PC intrusion: today the network development departments would likely insist the producers geographically adjust Bill's background from Texas -- so as he would not then have been fighting for the the South's Lost Cause, i.e., the Confederacy.
"The Texan" end credits: Gotta love that music; has a real boldness to it. (Quip: You know, like the bold taste of a Viceroy!) Although the jump to a shrieking sound in the final few seconds -- almost sounding like a cat whose tail has been stepped on -- is hardly the way to end the wonderful theme, IMO.
. . . "The Texan" overall: Goes to show how the writing on this Desilu-produced half hour resulted in its appeal to both adults and the younger crowd. The ABC Network's running the repeats on its daytime and Saturday a.m. schedules for two years, post cancellation, substantiate that.
"Thank you, Stuart Fanning, for posting" -- for our viewing pleasure, on behalf of newcomers to Rory Calhoun's "The Texan" and the legions of those fondly looking back 60 years to him and his show.
Love 💕 the viceroy cigarette add
The Texan was a good series western
Hey I just love watching this program thanks so much I was to young when aired over TV love watching Rory Calhoun was one of my favorite Western Actor his eye just hypnotize me he was so handsome yeah for sure. 😍😄😚😉
The "Little Girl" in this episode was a character actress in all kind of TV for decades. No idea who she is/was, but she got a lot of work thru the years, and did it well.
Beverly Washburn is her name.
She was in the great western Shane. And old yeller ,and about every TV show, did the movie Superman and the mole people, even the star trek series. I thing Beverley Washburn is still alive.
Word on Westerns on UA-cam did an interview with Beverly Washburn.
A good episode. Thanks for sharing.
Real quality here folks, for real.
Wish to thank anyone and all for putting this on UA-cam
I have the complete series on DVD rory Calhoun was a great actor
Back in the days when TV Westerns ran rampant; by 1970, they hardly existed.
I wonder how much popcorn I munched watching spellbound as Rory Calhoun played a gunfighter, Nobody better, (In my old age I remain spellbound at his personal life.)
Idk if people think I’m lying and I’m not but Bill Longly... He is my great great uncle...
He was 1 of my favourite actors
I really like the closing music to The Texan
Thank you Great old Classics :))
Rory Calhoun is my hero. A hundred and twenty one co-respondents!
At the time, he did dozens of radio and TV commercials, as well as some roles on the last network radio dramas at the time (including his daytime radio "soap", "PEPPER YOUNG'S FAMILY", which ended in 1959).
I would love to see "Stoney Burke", my absolute favorite western and rodeo show.
What a GREAT episode ☺
This is from a time when people had longer attention spans.
Thank U for sharing!
This aired on Monday nights at 8pm(et), sponsored by Brown & Williamson [Viceroy, Kool]. Marvin Miller is the program's announcer, and also speaks for Viceroy; Mason Adams appears on camera in the first ad. As the star of the show, Rory also delivered a "pitch" for the sponsor's product at the end of the episode. "NAKED CITY" [the original half-hour version] aired on ABC's Tuesday night schedule at 9:30pm(et) in the 1958-'59 season for Brown & Williamson, and alternate sponsor Quaker Oats...
...and an hour later at 9:00pm, Marvin Miller was back, announcing for "The Danny Thomas Show."
Remember this one airing around the same time as Paladin mid mornings early 60s on ABC I believe. Got a Paladin cowboy outfit one Christmas. I outgrew it by the next Christmas It had each and every piece. The hat was white though, so I think it was a Cassidy model I'm not sure whether it was officially a Have Gun Will Travel issue, but I remember that it had rhinestones; thick material, and authentic. It may have been a Hopalong Cassidy one. Anyway, the treasures of childhood are vivid again. Kinda weird at just turning 65 this month. Once a man and twice a child? I never thought of it as true. Hmmm.🎉
I remember this show. The Chipmunks record was #1. We had a 45 record player on top of the TV worked off the speaker of TV.
THAT INTRO MUSIC IS SAVAGE!
IT'S A MURDER IN THE UNTOUCHABLES!
Its good to see Michael Pate play a different roll besides an Indian.
Nice actor 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷👑💎🎥🎭📽
Rory Calhoon was a fuckin stud! a complete bad ass with a heart.
Thanks so much. I always liked Beverly Washburn.
Steve McQueen did similar commercials for the same sponsor on Wanted Dead Or Alive. Carole Mathews usually played the bad girl or the bad girl with the heart of gold. I guess because she had a thin upper lip . On Mason Adams, I thought he was going into pushing Smuckers jam instead of Viceroy cigarettes .
The girl is one of the great beauties of her day.
The child is adorable. Bill Longly should have married his buddy's widow and adopted the little orphan, settled down and LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER ☺
the kid is Pamala Anderson at 90, she was fed adrenochrome and babies. She's finally starting to age.
Good show love it
one of the best parts of the show is the theme song
And that handsome HORSE !
The commercials are a hoot!! Smoke cool...haha!!
DON'T QUITE REMEMBER THE SERIES, BUT REMEMBER THE THEME SONG.
Michael Pate he was a good actor
''It takes all kid of Critters to make Farmer Vincent Fritters''
all kinds of critters ....
That's character actor, Mason Adams, pitching the Viceroy's at the beginning. He's probably best remembered from his role as Lou Grant's managing editor in The Lou Grant Show.
He did a lot of voice work. “With a name like Smuckers it has to be good.”
‘ A Thinking Mans Filter ‘ ~ great
Rory & the Rifleman.....my favorites.(ls)
Tales Of Wells Fargo, with Dale Robertson, was also a very good tv western series !
Good old show. Love the cigarette commercials. 😂
great thanks
Wow, fascinating to see that commercial for Kool cigs. I always thought Kools were the Afro brand. You learn something new every day I guess.
Another ripper thankyou ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the commercial! "What are you smoking?" Made for MST3K. Actually, the man who thinks for himself would've said NO to smoking. Thanks for posting this show!
Actually, in 1958, the actual dangers of smoking cigarettes were not entirely known. In a few more years, they WOULD be...
@@blusnuby2 That's right, plus doctors had already spent more than a decade, promoting smoking as beneficial to one's health.
So, I wish these know-it-all, punks, who 70yrs later have the benefit of science to thank for their judgmental attitudes, would keep their smug opinions to themselves.
Can't we simply enjoy a blast from the past, without future generations criticizing the life choices of people who didn't know any better?
Dying from COPD, is a horrible cruel death. Isn't that enough suffering?
@@chachadodds5860 Here-here !
I need pick up a pack of Viceroy's and and also a pack of Old Gold's.
love the show
Raising orchids is one of the most expensive hobbies a thinking man can have.
Thinking man's filter Smoking man's taste - old days commercial
A good episode.
Rory Calhoun kicks ass. Just say'n
I love the KOOL commercial was my brand when I smoked.
Waaaaahoo! Scoobily doo! One of the gems from my childhood, but don't try to figure out my age, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Have a great summer.
Remember viceroy is for a thinking man 😂😂😂 Great Western
Good looking actor,,,
Michael Pate always plays a bad guy.
Sadly we women focus on the "good" in a bad man & that doesn't make him GOOD!!
@thia brabson...don't forget the "bad" gals..trying to be good.....lol. Thanks.
thanks for the upload. What I really enjoy are the commercials and station id at the end. It's like watching tv in the good old days. Do you have anymore?
Yes just check through the videos I have uploaded!
Dale Lynn *#PrayforPresident**-Trump*
sorry, Stuart! @jonn fck Trump.
That viceroy commercial at the beginning is totally amazing. I guess if he really thought it through, he might switch to chewing gum.
I think he might have a chewing gum spot in there...that is actor Mason Adams. While he had stage, movie, radio and TV credits (including Ed Asner's boss in LOU GRANT) his was the voice that launched a thousand (or close to it) ad campaigns. His words touted everything from cigarettes to cars, children's toys to senior care facilities, movies and TV shows. And above all is the tag line that made him immortal--"With a name like Smuckers...it has to be good"
Only if it were nicotine gum. Those who never smoked don't know it, but cigarettes are infinitely more satisfying than gum.
@@tomservo56954 Mason Adams was also the original voice of David Miller aka The Atom Man from the legendary story arc "Superman vs. Atom Man" of the "Adventures of Superman" radio serial in the mid 1940s. It can be found on UA-cam, at the Radio Spirits website, or on SiriusXM's Radio Classics channel.
@@jamesaritchie2 And a 'good cigar' is infinitely more rewarding than any cigarette, with hardly any of the health hazards....
My dad smoked Viceroys...
Right up till he died of lung cancer.
29:15- "'FATHER KNOWS BEST' is next, on the CBS Television Network".
THINKING MAN'S FILTER SMOKING MAN'S TASTE
Yes, Ray Teal indeed appeared as "Sheriff Roy Coffee" on 'BONANZA" during the '60s, 'Patrick'.
I'm going out to buy Viceroy right away. Never smoked cigarettes before but I'm a thinking man!
hope your joking. i've smoked 60 yrs and now i can't breathe. i'm dying a SLOW death.
Jim Assalone Takes for making me laugh.
Toller Western spitzenmässige Darsteller !!! Muss man gesehen haben.
That pinto horse he rode was a good looking horseflesh.
The screenwriter was a talented person and rory is veryyyy hot.
Three men said the same thing about Viceroy Cigarettes..... kinda like they weren’t thinking for themselves....
