Robert Walker Jr. played Evan Miles and was good at psychos. His father, Robert Walker, played the psycho killer in the iconic Strangers on a Train, and ironically, in 1958 when 77 Sunset Strip redid the same script in a sort of Strangers on a plane (called One False Step), it was Richard Long (Jarrod ) who played the psycho killer Robert Walker Jr.'s father played in the film. And Long was just as creepy in that part.
Sadly he would go on to cause more havoc as the resurrected Charlie X. Fortunately Captain Kirk and the Thasions handled him. ua-cam.com/video/ArtUzO35XVU/v-deo.html
This early in the show's run -- an ensemble one at that -- we get a powerful bonding, love-reassuring scene of these two, mother and daughter Barkleys. Nice work from 'the women folk' (Barbara Stanwyck, Linda Evans) AND the music department. The bond between the two is expanded on in the tag. 09:45 - 10:17 " Victoria, " . . . When your child is in trouble you defend him [or her]. Without question; without reservation -- the way I had to defend you. There are times when there isn't any other choice." WOW. Watch that again and see what happens at 10:10 - 10:17. Barbara Stanwyck's voice goes up at the very end, close to cracking into a soft sob; her eyes get misty. That declaration of dedication and love has got to be very reassuring to Audra. 00:20 Watching this a second time I realized how much the music was adding to this tender moment when the violins come in. They perform similar magic as the conclusion of Act IV's dramatic showdown, a verbal showdown, in the barn and the the epilogue's open in the living room. . . . That entire scene in the barn, 'hats off' to Peter Breck, oftentimes bombastic with dialogue but wordless here. Yet his presence isn't lost. He remaining in the frame, in the background. . . . As others have commented, nearly in unison, "thank goodness for Jarrod / Richard Long." [ed. - he clearly is a favorite with "Big Valley" faithful] He's got the whole legal and moral weight on his shoulders. And blessed with the wisdom of Solomon to deal with understandable solutions to life-or-death matters. Viewers are inclined to get distracted with "who is Victoria's favorite?" But, as written and with Stanwyck's commanding, experienced performance I'll offer that she loves each equally. The maturity of Jarrod resonates more with her, but parent to child is far, far beyond that. While the TLC of her words, her wisdom, her love and her touch are major comforts to Audra, it's almost 'cute' to see Vitoria offering a glass of sherry -- Barkley sherry no doubt -- that is the general elixir. No offense to the other family western of this era, the 1960s, but I can't see myself expounding to this length, to this degree, over Ben Cartwright and the boys on "Bonanza." On the opposite extreme we see character actor R.G. Armstrong delivering another powerful performance. In a couple years he would guest star on 'The Battleground', the pilot to CBS's 90-minute western, "Cimarron Strip," filmed at Las Cruces, NM and on this same lot, CBS Studio Center, aka Republic and Four Star. (See it on UA-cam.) "Thank you USCTrojans94".
Boy! Robert Walker just had a terrible track record with Blondes, didn't he? First, "he gets himself shot", over Audra Barkley, then "He makes a play for Yeoman Janice Rand", and winds up being abducted by aliens! Maybe, they should've just let him date a few brunettes!

Charlie Evans... just keeps getting into trouble, whatever planet or Star Trek federation starship he finds himself.

Jarrod confronts Wally, and Nick blocks the exit.
All the fine men.
Franny.

Ha ha classic !
This family would be toast without Jarrod.
E3ECO lol😄 agree... watched this series during it's prime years...Jarrod was everything for this family.
@@billymatthews7346Yes, he was the voice of reason.
As the oldest, he had fit into the role as man of the house after the death of their father.
Agreed. However, Victoria was the one to persuade him to go to law school and become the family lawyer. Don't know if he attended Yale or Harvard.
I know right. He is definitely my fave Barkley. So calm logical and levelheaded
When I was a boy I Iooked Victoria as Granny to me. Today as a grandfather, I looked Victoria as beautiful woman.

Hate to say it, but Evan is not resting in peace... He's toasting away unrepentantly in the pit
She was in panic. Made her cant think right
An intelligent parent doesn't defend their child, when their child in the wrong.
Nick Barkley is the bosd
Quero ver assistir em português 🇧🇷... ou legendado em português 🇧🇷 obrigada
Evan had a problem
Aqui no se puede ver no llega traducida
So Eugene Barkley disappeared into the Twightlight Zone with Chuck Cunningham of Happy Days and was never mentioned again.🤔
@rob9641 Interesting. That explains Eugene. Now what happened to Chuck Cunningham?
Just kidding.
So right
Väldigt bra scen tycker jag också sorligt scen ☀️☀️🌝🌝🌞🌞🌬🌬😭😭
They didn't seem to raise him right.
Wonder if Eugene ever graduated?
Sally Goozee ...after saving the prize family bull...I would say...yes he did with high honer.
@@billymatthews7346 A high honer is an overly ambitious masturbator, I believe you were going for high honor....😃

She could have gotten her son Nick
Εrik Wilson no way it would’ve been to late and that’s would be a stupid decision. If she did that what love does she have for her daughter?
@@victoriavictorious6570 , yes it would have been to late
u do. what. u haver. to.
Bad seed.

Victoria asks herself "What else could I have done?" Uh, she could've shot him in the LEG.
that's what I was thinking. Go for an arm or a leg!
Garyb3397 He was a bad seed.
I have to agree. Evan seemed to be oblivious to anything Victoria was doing. She could have walked right up to him and shot him in the leg.
LOL...I was thinking the same thing...
@@lairdericwells4075 I agree he was a bad seed. I had no problem with what she did.
Yeah, the women are never to blame. Nothing new to see here.
Annnnnnd there's a rapist in the comments
