Trackdown “The Town”



To begin, I Looove Robert Culp.

His Columbo guest-murder spots are condescending cool.

Tarantino calls his performance as gunfighter, Thomas Luther Price, in Hannie Caulder one of the coolest of the cool.

I agree.

His turn with Eli Wallach in the little-seen TV-movie A Cold’s Night’s Death is tight Twilight Zone-esque material.

Hell, he’s fantastic at gunplay as the clip shows.

But…I have taken in a handful of episodes from this show, and while Culp is solid, I find I simply see nothing here that elevates this from B-Fare.

The episode in point was written by the mighty Samp Peckinpah, and yet…

A show I want to love.

If you do, I am jealous.
