Gilligan Out West, Sunset Carson, And Famous Faces4
This "Great American Western" VHS features mostly made for TV movies. It's a mix of drama and comedy and spans 40 years. There are some very recognizable names, and some good action sprinkled throughout this mixed bag of drama and comedy.

First up is "Yuma"(1970) Clint Walker mosies into town as the new lawman who is determined to clean up the lawlessness that has taken over. He works double duty though trying to keep law and order and also trying to prove his own innocence in a murder rap that is a frame up.This was a pretty good film, I liked it the best of these 4. Barry Sullivan and Edgar Buchanan also star.

1977 "The Wackiest Wagon Train In The West". Okay this film is kind of goofy. Bob Denver, is a silly Scout assistant to a bumbling Wagonmaster. Sound familiar? wait you haven't heard it all. There's an older wealthy couple, a showgirl, a girl next door type and a really smart guy. And we follow all their misadventures in the Old West. It may as well be Gilligan's Island, in a different setting, with different people in the roles. Forrest Tucker, Lori Saunders and Jeannie Riley also star. Good for a few laughs, but not as funny as Gilligan.

An old Sunset Carson oater is included. "Sunset Carson Rides Again" from 1948 is an enjoyable view. Sunset takes in a wayward youth who thinks Sunset killed his Pa. Crooked partners are also trying to best Carson, and singing cowboys the "Rodeo Revelers" add their charms.

"The Gunfighters" from 1987, the newest of the group are 3 cousins trying to rescue the family ranch from greedy land grubber George Kennedy.One has visions of being like Billy the Kid, and has a taste of what that is like as they become outlaws in the process.

These four films are also available together on DVD, Volume 17 of the Great American Western series.

Happy Trails...Laurie
