The Restless Gun “Duel at Lockwood”

 

This 2 season Western series ran from 1957-1959 starring John Payne as ex-gunfighter Vint Bonner.

The series is carved in that mini-morality tale of the week vein that many a mature Western tale of the period was forged.

In the first episode we see Vint having to deal with a young buck wannabe gunhawk played by Vic Morrow.

The writing is fine, the story arc predictable, but the short running time makes it all go down nice and easy.

The stand-out here is Morrow’s sniveling snarling gunhawk.

Not a bad way to spend 30 minutes.
