VHS Movie Reviews of Rawhide: The Pitchwagon [VHS]
Movie Review: Rawhide should be on DVD. DVD please!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently read that Rawhide was one of the most popular TV western series of all time. They should put the Rawhide series out on DVD. They're converting all the other old TV series out on DVD, why not Rawhide? Also, there were about 270 one hour episodes made in seven or so years. Think of the all that great western footage from the golden years of Eastwood and the Western! I saw a short clip of Rawhide on the Eastwood documentary 'Eastwood-the Man from Malpaso' , and even that brief scene was good, so you know there's some good stuff hidden in all those episodes.
Summary of Rawhide: The Pitchwagon [VHS]
Clint sings! This memorable Rawhide episode steers off the cattle-drive trail for an often-comical story about a snake-oil hustler's redemption. Buddy Ebsen guest stars as Dr. Stimson, a "Golden Remedy" purveyor, whose pitch wagon is attacked by Indians. Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) rides to the rescue, but in the ensuing skirmish one of his men, Frank Miller, is killed. The drivers pitch in to send money to Frank's widow and two children, but Stimson has a plan to raise the stakes. Feeling that he "owes this boy's family a debt," he suggests a way to turn the tables on a local crooked poker game (run by venerable character actor Jack Elam) using Mushie (James Murdock), the frontier Gump, as the "pigeon." This being Mushie, the con is soon discovered, but Stimson has another ace up his sleeve. When his estranged wife (Joan O'Brien) arrives to announce she is remarrying the more respectable Sam (Hugh Marlowe of All About Eve and The Day the Earth Stood Still), Stimson convinces her to impersonate the popular singer Jenny Lind and perform a recital. Yet another setback finds Stimson, Rowdy, and the boys alone to face an audience of increasingly agitated high-paying customers. "Rowdy," suggests grizzled cook Wishbone, "why don't you go out there and sing?" This is an atypical Rawhide episode, but one that pays off in unexpected, off-center moments. And Ebsen, for one, is in his element as the folksy, fast-talking Stimson. --Donald LiebensonClassic TV Video
