Customer Reviews

"A soldier of fortune..."

"...is the man called Paladin." Many times, one has fond memories of older TV programs. When they are finally distributed and bought, it is a shocker to find that they are sophomoric or just long cigarette commercials. This time you will not be disappointed. Each episode must find conflict and solve it in an extraordinarily short time. Each episode has a moral and still maintains its entertainment value. One of the ways this is accomplished is the use of a wide spectrum of writers; many of the stories are adaptations of classics or have become classics of other programs and/or movies. Is it possible for a series to get better instead of fading to the mundane? Yes, the second season has dropped the extras, except for a quick synopsis of plot and actors, in place of packing in the stories at six or seven a disk. I press the play all button. I will not go through the list of actors, as it is fun to be surprised. One of the finer points of this series is that usually there is no clear-cut hero or villain, as the characters and themes of the stories are as complete as many ancient myths. We can see virtues and faults in everyone, and many times, there is no such thing as a clear-cut winner or loser. Paladin (Richard Boone), a well-chosen name, as on a chessboard, there are many moves available, lives in San Francisco, and most people assume he has investments all over the West, as he is taking frequent trips to protect them. We know different as "Have Gun Will Travel"; he makes his fortune on his many skills. Every once in a while, we get a glimpse of his past, as we know he went to West Point and can quote many ancient writings and wars. He has an uncanny way of knowing what the meanings of names are. Yet whoever he is, many people are better off for knowing him. And so are we. A side benefit is recognizing the list of stars (actors) and stars in the making. You can watch the programs out of order, but occasionally something will refer to an earlier presentation.
