Into the west: ethics and the gunfighter in "have gun--will travel".

14 comments:

Great post, Rick. I like your idea of "dual personas." It's especially interesting to see an episode like "A Matter of Ethics", where Paladin is sitting at the cozy hotel, looking like a gentleman. If it's your intro to the show, you might think, "This is the guy who offers his gunfighting services?" (I know I did). And as you said, as a gunfighter, Paladin still retains that gentleman quality.

Rick, Wonderful post! I remember him as being a Suave, believable, character only true to himself. I may have to add Have Gun Will Travel to my growing DVD collection.

Rick, I remember this western show. It had an original plot. I was thinking that Paladin had a college degree, but I may be wrong. Haven't seen the show in many years. Paladin had a beautiful horse and I always remember the lovely horses in westerns!! My Dad taped a Richard Boone movie called The Last Dinosaur for my son. He watched it over and over. My favorite movie with Richard Boone is Against a Crooked Sky. I liked Have Gun-Will Travel. I miss westerns. Enjoyed your review and Dawn is right about Paladin being a suave charater!

I enjoyed reading your comments, everyone! The first three season of HGWT are available in a boxed set. I highly recommend it. The fourth season was just released this month and I've never seen those episodes (well, maybe i saw some as a wee lad, but don't remember them).

Rick , one of the things about Have Gun Will Travel was the Quality of the Co- Stars, and the Directors. Check out this not complete list: Andrew V. Maclaglen 101 episodes, Richard Boone 22 episodes, Buzz Kulik 11 episodes, Lamount Johnson 10episodes, Ida Lupino 7 episodes, William Conrad 4 episodes, Richard Donner 3 episodes, and Lewis Milestone 2 episodes. Quite a list.

Yes, Paul, the directors were a very talented bunch...as were the previously mentioned writers. The guest stars weren't too shabby either--they included Vincent Price, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Peter Falk, Victor McLaglen, Martin Balsam, Andrew Prine, and many others.

Rick do you know who (other then hey boy) had the most episodes on Have Gun Will Travel?

I am quite a fan of "Have Gun Will Travel" and have truly enjoyed the boxed set. Richard Boone is excellent and your description of him as "the gentleman dressed in white and the gunfighter garbed in black" is spot on accurate. The last thing Paladin ever wants to do is fire his gun; he seeks to conclude every situation peacefully. We could all learn a lot from his reticence and resolve.

Three Great Paladins... (1) El Paso Stage - Paladin, unknowingly, has been hired by a father to kidnap his son (won't spoil the why). When Paladin refuses...the psychopathic town marshal roughs Paladin up and later sends Paladin on the stage home. Do you think for a minute that Paladin will stand for that?? Best Paladin episode..imo..penned by Gene Roddenberry. (2) A Quiet Night In Town - This masterpiece penned by Harry Julian Fink is simply about a suspected murderer being brought to a quiet little town on the Texas border and the reaction of four bored cowhands to Paladin and his prisoner. Classic two part episode. (3) Death Of A Gunfighter - Paladin befriends a troubled gunfighter...he's in love with a young Suzanne Pleshette...but she's fallen in love with a humble, respectable and harmless man. I don't think the troubled gunfighter will like that. Also recommended... Genesis - How Paladin was born. Memories of Monica - Classic story of a wife's love but her husband is another story. Great script. Don't miss this one. The Predators - Paladin is sure he has captured the man who killed a sheriff in cold blood. Has he? Return To Fort Benjamin - An indian is framed for murder and imprisoned at an Army Fort. Paladin knows the indian is innocent but is determined that the indian will be returned to his father...the chief given an indian burial despite Army regulations. First You Must Catch A Tiger - Paladin has been marked for death by a killer that shoots in the back. He is told where the killer is staying. When Paladin gets there...he sees multiple suspects and the real stress for Paladin begins. One of the best. Episode In Laredo - Paladin stops overnight at a hotel on his way back to San Francisco and befriends a famed gunfighter. Classic TV western tale. The Scorched Feather - Lon Chaney, Jr plays the part of an Indian Scout whose son has two very contrasting personalities...odd but great episode.

El Paso Stage A Quiet Night In Town Death Of A Gunfighter Genesis Memories of Monica The Predators Return To Fort Benjamin First You Must Catch A Tiger Episode In Laredo The Scorched Feather Episode Selection originally posted by SGR

One of my all-time favorite shows, which I only discovered a few years ago, thanks to DVD and Encore Western channel. So well written and such an interesting character who valued reason above violence yet was very aware of the irony of his chosen profession...

As a child I loved watching this with my Dad and now again watching with him in his 80's. Richard Boone was an excellent actor and Paladin was a classically designed medieval hero. BTW the "paladins" who numbered 12 were the companions of Roland and the foremost warriors of Charlemagne's court and examples of Christian martial valor. Note use of the number 12, like the 12 Apostles. Thanks for this blog!

I have been hooked on Lawson for years

Love Richard Boone..

Have Gun-Will Travel — “A Matter of Ethics”

The very existence of the radio show is an odd duck, in that while not unique it was one of the very rare radio shows to be a spinoff of a successful tv show, which is backwards from the usual sequence of events, with the radio show coming first, then the tv show (for examples of the usual order, see Gunsmoke , Dragnet , and The Lone Ranger ). In this case, Have Gun–Will Travel on television first aired in 1957 and its radio counterpart aired its first episode just over a year later in 1958. The original CBS tv series would run from September 1957 through April of 1963 and proved quite popular. Richard Boone (1917-1981) starred as Paladin, a cultured, educated, gun-for-hire living in San Francisco’s swanky Carlton Hotel during the period following the Civil War to approximately 1875 as a well-appointed man of wealth and sophistication, who earned his living by putting ads in local newspapers as a high-priced gunslinger with the simple calling card of “Have Gun–Will Travel.” While expensive to hire ($1,000 per day plus expenses) and ready, willing, and able to use his trademark gun when necessary, he often was a master at settling disputes or resolving issues in a diplomatic and bloodless manner.

Famed radio director of such shows as Suspense , Escape , and later the popular tv westerns such as The Virginian and Gunsmoke , Norman Macdonnell championed the idea of spinning off a successful tv show to radio, and Have Gun–Will Travel on radio was born. One of my favorite radio and tv actors, John Dehner (1915-1992), was cast as radio’s Paladin, his resonating baritone perfect for the role. Dehner himself was in many ways like the character he played, for his father traveled a lot and Dehner went to school and was educated mostly in Europe (though he was born in New York). Along the way, he learned to speak four languages fluently and others to a lesser degree (including Norwegian, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, and even some Hopi Indian). In the early 1940s Dehner worked for Walt Disney Studios as an animator and did work for such iconic animated features as Fantasia (1940), Bambi (1942) and some Pluto, Donald Duck, and Mickey Mouse cartoons. After a stint in the Army during World War II he held jobs as a radio news editor and disc jockey, then graduated to numerous acting roles of various sizes, including, but not limited to shows such as The Hermit’s Cave (as host), and supporting roles in The Whistler , Gunsmoke , Suspense , Escape , Philip Marlowe, Frontier Gentleman (star), and the week following the demise of Frontier Gentleman , the star of Have Gun–Will Travel .

John Dehner’s television and film roles are far too many to list here, but he appeared in 125 feature films and shorts, and in well over another 100 tv roles from mystery to western to science fiction and is easily recognizable for his blue eyes, moustache, and again his iconc baritone that Radio Life Magazine said was the industry’s “best radio voice.” Of interest to SF fans, Dehner appeared three times on the original The Twilight Zone : in the first season as Captain Allenby in “The Lonely,” as engineer Alan Richards in “The Jungle” in its third season, and in its fifth and final season as Jared Garrity in “Mr. Garrity and the Graves.”

Last but not least, from an article in AVClub from 2014 by Brandon Nowalk titled “The Adult Western Peaked with Have Gun–Will Travel”: “…the adult Western, nominal or otherwise, is what TV audiences were looking for in the late ’50s. Have Gun – Will Travel wasn’t the first, it wasn’t the most popular, and it didn’t last the longest. But it was the best. Have Gun picked up the pieces of the adult Western and assembled them into something greater. There was Gunsmoke ’s dramatic power, Earp ’s pretension, and Cheyenne ’s rootless energy. And where those others lost cast members, dipped in quality, or completely transformed, Have Gun stayed steady, a strong half-hour black-and-white adventure leading into Gunsmoke every Saturday night for six years.” Though it is true that Have Gun wasn’t the most popular show of its time, Nielsen ratings confirm that it ranked near the very top of the heap with a #3 or #4 rating for its first four years. ( Gunsmoke would take top honors as the #1 show for four years, from 1958-61.)

“A Matter of Ethics” is a timeless story, revealing that the phenomenon of mob mentality is a dark amorphous creature lurking beneath the surface of mankind’s better nature, patiently waiting for the confluence of several factors to trigger its mindless, violent appearance. In this story Paladin is hired to make sure that the judicial process prevails and an accused man is treated fairly and not lynched before his trial. A problem muddies the waters, however, the nature of which forces Paladin to make a decision that boils down to “A Matter of Ethics.”

{“A Matter of Ethics” aired on a Sunday evening. The following Monday after school the neighborhood gang gathered at the corner newsstand to maybe find a pulp magazine devoted to the western genre along with one or more issues of their favorite SF magazines. If, Science Fiction (1952-74) had become one of the gang’s regular selections for a few years now. It was founded as a sister magazine to the Horace Gold edited Galaxy magazine, and though Gold would also edit If for a short while, he soon turned over the editorial reigns to Frederik Pohl who, years later, would earn If three straight Hugo awards for Best Professional Magazine from 1966-68. From 1956-63 it was a bi-monthly, with a blip in 1959 when it would publish only 4 issues. When it came to finding a Western pulp magazine, pickings had become lean by early 1959, most western magazines having gone by the wayside. Lovers of the western story—at least in the magazine format—were left to settle with magazines featuring stories about the western, one such being the magazine attributed as being the very first pulp magazine in history, Argosy , which switched from its former newspaper format to a pulp in 1894. It went through several altered subtitles and content emphasis, with 1943-79 known as its “slick” era. Thus, we find the February 1959 issue pictured below featuring a story about Gunsmoke , the hot new action/drama TV series that captured the interest of one of the neighborhood gang. Argosy was a monthly in 1959. Not a western pulp, Adventure (1910-71) looked enough like one at first glance from the cover of the issue below, that it held hope that the adventures of the sort found in the old west might be found within its pages, and that hope was all it would take for one of the gang to take this issue home. Adventure was also a monthly in 1959. It is worth noting that Adventure was begun in response to the success of Argosy —which at one point was selling 500,000 copies an issue—and that rather than a shotgun approach to the fiction it ran, Adventure would solicit and purchase those stories with a strong element of “danger and thrills,” which obviously was a winner.}

A Matter of Ethics

A wanted killer offers Paladin $200 to protect him from a lynch mob, and Paladin has to decide whether to take more money to let the lynch mob have the man... or let him go.

By Gadfly on Nov 12, 2017

At the Carlton, Paladin is in the lobby buying a horse's head ornament from a salesman, Folger. Paladin buys the ornament and tells Folger to leave the bill at the desk, and the salesman asks Hey Boy if Paladin is wealthy. Hey Boy assures him that he is, and Folger asks the clerk if Paladin's credit is good. The clerk assures him that he is. Meanwhile, Paladin reads an article about Bartholomew Holgate, who was captured in Sacramento for murder in the town of Bender, Wyoming Territory. Holgate w…

Have Gun - Will Travel (TV Series)

A matter of ethics (1957), angie dickinson: amy bender, photos .

Quotes 

Amy Bender : Who are you?

Paladin : My name is Paladin.

Sheriff Swink : Holgate hired him to see he ain't lynched.

Amy Bender : So the gunfighters are all for law and order... if the price is right.

Paladin : You don't buy law and order, Miss Bender - you fght for it.

Max Bender : Once you have it, you don't throw it away.

Paladin : Your father knows how hard law is to come by.

Amy Bender : All this talk won't change the writing on my brother's tombstone.

Amy Bender : I don't want anyone hurt - except Holgate.

Paladin : That's the trouble with a lynching, Miss Bender. You can't have it ordered up all neat and dainty like a yard of Flemish lace. It's something that cowards get whiskeyed up and mumble over, winding up with screams in the gutters of a dark night.
