I know most of these guys appeared in more modern westerns too (True Grit eg) but these oldies just had something special. By the way, there's a treasure trove of old western movies and series on You Tube. Tons and tons of them! The Restless Gun, Lawman, The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, The Virginian, The Cimarron Strip, High Chaparral, Smith and Jones, Laramie, Maverick, Bonanza... it's endless! Ian
The western channel plays the old westerns and many of them are the classics plus a lot of cheaper ones that never made the cut for heavy distribution. Things were so much simpler then when the good guys wore white and always prevailed in the end and usually got the girl too.
