The 1958 B&W Screen Gems Version Unsold Pilot of The Virginian - Decision. Not associated with the 1962 Universal Color 90 minute version. James Drury was coincidentally cast in both series. Just goes to show he was destined to be The Virginian.

Henry Fonda also played The Virginian on stage in 1937 at Mount Kisco, New York. Charles Bickford played Trampas a year earlier in a radio production with Gary Cooper. One of Doug's last roles in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues: Cruise Missile saw him acting with Colm Feore , who later played Trampas in Bill Pullman's version.

Doug McClure played Trampas.(in the TV series) In the book, Trampas was a bad guy.

Gee, this is such a long time before the series actually started!

@RandyAKing This is the pilot episode of a half hour b&W version of the series. The series we know as The Virginian has no affiliation with this pilot except the fact that James Drury played the Virginian in both of them.

If I remember correctly, there was a movie of the same name staring actor Joel McCray.

Yes, you are correct, coolmamac. That was in 1946. There is also a version from 1929 with Gary Cooper. In the 2000 version with Bill Pullman, James Drury has a guest appearance. And of course, the television series, The Virginian that starred James Drury, ran from 1962-1971.
