Herrmann Music in Have Gun Will Travel and - Film Score Rundowns

except towards the end of the story, so it’s a bit of a story line twist (not getting what you
initially expect).
-Chapter 3 from 10:53 to 11:35: “Indian Suspense” (Indian Suite) Bars 1-12, 46.
-Chapter 3 from 11:36 to 13:33: “Rain Clouds” (Western Suite) Bars 1-29, 43-44.

“Twelfth Night” December 28, 1957 ***** A
I really like this fun episode, excellently cast by William Schallert and James
Griffith as two rival Hillbillies. John Meston could write entertaining non-violent or nontragic
stories if he wanted to!
-The episode opens with the “Rural Grotesque” from Ethan Allen (all bars).
*****************************************
“Joe Phy” January 4, 1958 ***** B+
Good story about a fake Marshall convincingly played by Paul Richards. Morey
Amsterdam (later of Dick Van Dyke Show fame) also stars as the town drunk.
-Chapter 3 starting at :47: “Lead-In F” (Police Force) all 11 bars.
-Chapter 4 starting 5:43: “Suspects” (Police Force) mixed bars.

Buffalo Man” January 11, 1958 ***** A+
This is one of the best episodes of the season not only because of the dramatic
story but in large part because of the perfect casting of John Anderson as “Ben Siple” and
Jack Klugman as “Earl Ticks” (I just love those funny names!) as two dangerous buffalo
hunters (the John Anderson character is especially sadistic). This episode gets my best
rating.
-Chapter 2 starting at 3:04: “Suspects” (PoliceForce) Bars 20-26. Scene: The
Marshall goes to a wagon and asks, “Anybody here?” There is a battered woman hidden
in it named Abby (Patricia Smith).
-Chapter 3 from 5:29 to 8:02: “Indian Suspense” (Indian Suite) Bars 1-30. Scene:
Terrific scene and dialog of Chester and Mr. Dillon tied to the buffalo men’s wagon
wheel. Hostile Indians are hooting in the near distance.
-Chapter 4 from 2:12 to 3:00: “Climax Prelude” Cue # 215, Bars 1-3, 5-6, 13-15.
-Chapter 4 from 7:03 to 8:29: “The Rocks” (HGWT). Scene: Matt fights Siple on
a Dodge street.
