Shotgun Slade - A Flower on Boot Hill - 1 of 3

[deriter64]

Watching these old B&W westerns kindly posted by good people I've realized that the guest stars were almost like a repertoire company and a darn good one. Whether shotgun Slade, Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel. Trackdown, familiar faces keep popping, like John Dehner, Simon Oakland, Harold J. Stone, Denver Pile, and seem able to be loathsome or likable on demand and even comic relief when necessary. I guess that's talent.

Imagine if "Bat Masterson" had this score! That would have been the proverbial gas!

@catfan its supposed to be a jazz score western a record album was issued and the music is in a revue piano book

When the theme music came on, I envisioned Slade driving around in a '59 Chevy (as in 1959, that is) and shooting down bandits in downtown Los Angeles.

@spacepatrolman One time riding the bus in Manhattan I saw Lawrence Tierney...he was working driving one of those horse pulled carriages in Central Park, but he was on the same bus I was on.
