Average customer review:Product Description
John Randall was not a typical rough-hewn bounty hunter of the Old West; he was a consummate gentleman who always gave half - or even all - of his reward money to charity. He was a man of few words and unlike most bounty hunters he carried a modified 1892 Winchester rifle which he wore on his belt and fondly called his "Mare's Lady." Randall's catch phrase "Let's go" launched him into unforgettable classic Western adventures. Steve McQueen stars in the classic hit TV series with guest appearances by Lee Van Cleef DeForest Kelley Waren Oates Martin Landau Lon Chaney Jr. Dyan Cannon and Brad Dexter. Extras include documentaries bios photo galleries and more.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 787364766598

Thank you for reading my review and have a wonderful day :)
Josh and His "Mare's Laig" Ride Again! ! ! !"
One of the most memorable and famous characters of the '50's Western genre was Steve McQueen's "Josh Randall", who spoke softly (with the Southern drawl he cultivated in his early days roaming around the South, particularly Myrtle Beach, S.C.) and carried a Big Gun, the sawed-off Winchester lever-action rifle then known as the "Mare's Laig". I remember the excitement each week eagerly waiting for each episode of this great Western.
It's release on DVD has been just too long a wait!
One of my fondest childhood memories was the weekend I spent with my Dad, helping him to hand make my own custom-made leather belt rig from scratch for my toy "Mare's Laig" in time for use as part of a Halloween costume when the plastic original proved to be a poor replica.
With all the second- and third-rate wastage flooding the DVD market lately, it's really great to see SOMEBODY bring back such a great actor in this really great Western!
MCQUEEN IS GREAT IN SEASON TWO
I have seen most of the episodes for season two and Mcqueen is more comfortable in the character of Josh Randall then he was in season one. In fact some of these episodes are more of a comedy than a drama. In Wanted Dead or Alive Steve Mcqueen shows why he was the top box office star of the 60s and 70s. I must buy for a Steve Mcqueen fan.
