William Bendix as a gunfighter?, Feb 23 2012
By Jack Kelly - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Overland Trail: the Complete.. (DVD)
if you grew up watching "The Life of Riley" on television, you'll find it difficult to watch these. Bendix plays a gunslinger that plays the role serious. Not that he wasn't a bad actor. He played it straight in the movie "The Blue Dahlia." Doug McClure, people will debate with me, isn't the best cowboy actor and how he got typecast in so many cowboy roles is beyond me. I was just never impressed with him. The series is light-hearted and not meant to be a straight, serious cowboy Western like "Cheyenne." The picture quality is beautiful. The price is a bargain. I remember paying $35 for a 16mm master of one of the episodes. Small tip: I discovered you need to watch the series in chronological order. Don't jump around from one DVD to another just because the titles are catchy. A couple recurring characters make more than one visit so you need to watch them in order.

I have been looking forward to this title being released & I've not been disappointed.I saw the series when it was first broadcast over 50 years ago...seen nothing of it since.Timeless Media have done an outstanding job...I think the best yet.The LARAMIE series (especially the color seasons)were disappointing as this was my favourite western show.Congratulations to Timeless & keep them coming...are we to get full series of The Restless Gun?... as Cimarron City & Riverboat are soon to be released following parts of them coming out....following The Tall Man & Wells Fargo

Trail to Adventure, Mar 19 2012

This review is from: Overland Trail: the Complete.. (DVD)
This is another good western series released by Timeless Media Group.It stars William Bendix and Doug McClure.Plenty of action in this series about the Overland Trail,a major stage route to the west all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
Willaim Bendix played the man in charge of the stage line with Doug McClure as his sidekick who had been brought up by indians.The two actors play of one another well.There are quite a few funny moments shared by the two actor's here like when the stagecoach almost sinks in the mud.Bendix exclaims it wasn't this deep the last time he came through,to which McClure retorts, "were you standing in the saddle at the time".Another episode has Bendix in the barber's chair with a very nervous barber with a shaky hand after hearing gun fire outside."I've calmed down now" says the barber "so I can now finish you off" to which Bendix replies "That's what I'm afraid of.
Another series that only lasted one season and should have lasted longer,but then Doug McClure would never have ended up in his most famous role as Trampas on "The Virginian".
I bought this series sight unseen and was happy I did.
Listmania!
