"The Dalton Gang" (1954)

Clip from an episode of the 1954 TV western, "Stories of the Century": "The Dalton Gang". It starred Jim Davis ("Dallas"' Jock Ewing), Fess Parker (TV's Daniel Boone) and Robert Bray (the bus driver in the Marilyn Monroe movie, "Bus Stop").

The runaway stagecoach scene is accompanied by library music that was used in 1970 as part of the theme of a Saturday late night movie program in Tulsa, Oklahoma, "The Uncanny Film Festival and Camp Meeting". It starred Gailard Sartain as Dr. Mazeppa Pompaoidi, Gary Busey as Teddy Jack Eddy and Jim Millaway as Sherman Oaks.

The theme was spliced together by Gary Chew (Delmo Gillette). It consisted of the first few bars of the Coon-Sanders Nighthawks' "Alone in the Rain", and this "Chase Music" taken from a music library at KOTV in Tulsa.
It was probably created as stock music for Republic "B" westerns made in the 1930s-40s.
The town of Coffeyville, Kansas is one locale for this clip.

@himsfilthymansonfan I'm realated to emmett dalton there is alot about them in the Kasas records or so says my father lol

[himsfilthymansonfan]

For all you people who are claiming to be Dalton, where have you been all my life, I'm a direct decedent of Gratton. I am actually looking at Photo's of the whole gang together. After Skepticism i decided to get the photo's looked at and they are 100 percent real.

Anyone notice the numerous historical errors in this episode? It was actually Grat who fell for the banker's story about the time delay on the vault. The Daltons wore "disguises" so that Coffeyville citizens who knew them well would not recognize them, yet Robert Brey as Emmett seems to indicate that the other Daltons had never seen Coffeyville before. Bill Dalton is shown assisting in planning the raid, but has disappeared from the heist. Broadwell and Powers are given different names, etc.
