Funny comment LaramieGal (about nonviolence making you want to hit someone lol)The fact is the mess on TV now makes the shows in the 50s and 60s look like Sunday School plays. At least they fought for a good reason, & good guys won!
Poor Jess didn't really get to beat up any bad guys in this episode. I suppose it was only fair to let Slim have the fun this time, though. And it's not as though Jess doesn't get plenty of fisticuffs in practically every other episode. :)
They're nicely done fight scenes, too. I'm sure they were all better at that kind of thing back then.
Bob made good fight scenes because he was a stuntman. Until the non-violence movement of the early '70s, a good Western was the best place to find an energetic fight scene. Generally clean, honorable fighting, too.
Dan Duryea was one of THE best villains ever - always a villain you loved to hate.
And Hoagie Carmichael - composer of lovely songs. "Oh me, oh my,.. small fry." :D
Hoagy Carmichael and my grandfather were cousins and I have personally met Robert Fuller. Robert Fuller told me that these new age actors cannot do two things and that is ride a horse and draw a holstered pistol. What talent and class of "the good old days!"
@pipeliner1954 oh! No FAIR!! I want to meet Robert fuller soooo bad!! I think he is one great actor! And I agree with him on that statement! nothing like the good old days of classic actors!

Tptb sent Andy off to school after the first season and sent Jonesy with him. I'll never understand why. I loved them as a family.

Well, he got the drop on Slim, and he did have a nice display of his shooting ability resourcefulness with Pete.
RF looks very natural with a gun.

I'd love to have met HC or RF. I'm sure RF was right. He was certainly a natural with both. Thanks for posting. :)
