-“Fugitive Susp.” [I assume Fugitive Suspense] dvd 00:02:08 thru 03:18 Scene:You next see Kimble’s legs descending the bus steps and then the camera panning up tosee hi face. The deep-voiced narrator, William Conrad (of later Cannon fame, I guess!)starts to say, “Now six months a fugitive, this is Richard Kimble with a new identity…” Ilike the location shooting right there in Tucson. Reminds me of that period of Route 66and its own location shooting.At any rate, you hear several more Rugolo contributions of music. The next CBSLibrary clip is apparently “Letter to Home” by Fred Steiner. I am not sure where thisplacement in. I never worked on the written cue, so I cannot tell what it is supposed tosound like. It is possible that it’s that piano piece (starting 00:06:57 dvd) played by VeraMiles at “The Branding Iron” bar & restaurant at 109 So. Scott Street where Kimbleshows up for a job. By the way, this is a stupid choice of job selection by Kimble! Imean, he will get far more public exposure in that job (including police) than working,say, as a factory worker somewhere. Anyway, that piano piece last about 4 minutes butthe cue sheets states about 3 minutes duration—but already we know the cue sheettimings can be quite wrong. The deep-voiced baritone bar owner “Lee Brown” wasplayed by an actor who was excellently cast in a Have Gun Will Travel episode:“The Monster of Moon Ridge” February 28, 1959 **** BThis is an atmospheric and sufficiently entertaining tale (written by GeneRoddenberry) best told on Halloween perhaps. It’s more tease than substance, more funthan scare, but I think it deserves a good rating, especially with some Herrmann musicthrown in to help create a moodier atmosphere. Paladin investigates the “monster” ofMoon Ridge, Colorado. The sheriff’s posse combed the mountains and found large printsof a strange nature, and a girl “bewitched” by some apparition. That night street scene inMoon Ridge is a bit spooky. Go to Chapter 2 at 1:40 and freeze frame it. I cannot at themoment identify the music that accompanies it. It plays again at the start of Chapter 3when Paladin rides out (still night) to Dan Bella’s cabin in the mountains (playedexcellently by Barney Phillips with his fitting deep voice for this spooky episode).[Postscript dated April 13 th : There is nice spooky music by Lucien Moraweck aswell, titled “Furtive Visitor # 2.” This I believe is the music I couldn’t identify in theabove paragraph.]…”OK. The next CBS Music Library edit insertion was:-“Squaw Man” (Fred Steiner) Dvd 00:19:32 thru 19:50 (18 seconds). The cuesheet states 20 seconds but that’s close enough. Scene: Ed Wells (Brian Keith) knocks onKimble’s door. This music cue was from a Fred Steiner original score for a Gunsmokeepisode titled “The Squaw” airdate November 11, 1961. This specific cue cameimmediately prior to the “Cully Fights” cue (M-0831 A) that sounded so Herrmannesqueand exciting. This “Squaw Man” music is also used later in the episode (around the 36minute point) when the two detectives (Harry Townes and Dabbs Greer) finish their talkwith Kimble with the statement, “Leave Tucson tonight.”5
