Is it television or is it a theatrically released
film?
The is answer is…Both.
ABC ran the television show The Travels of Jamie
McPheeters starring a young Kurt Rusell, Charles Bronson co-starred as wagon
master Linc Murdock.
In 1965, Bronson’s star was rising so the final
episode was re-cut and assembled for theatrical release.
It has the feel of episodic television and leans more
to the romantic than the action side of things.
Bronson, is, well, Bronson…virile and believable.
He does have one notable moment of fisticuffs where he
is attempting to walk away from a fight, then changes his mind.
There are also a couple of surprisingly adult scenes
between Bronson and Susan Oliver that raised my eyebrow asking, “This was on
TV in 1964?”
Not a must-see, but this Bronson fan enjoyed it.
For further viewing, dig up on YouTube Kurt Russell
discussing the time he gave Charles Bronson the gift of a skateboard.
