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

-Chapter 2 starting at 2:13: “Lead-In A” (Police Force) Bars 1-4. Then “Lead-In
C” is used, Bars 1-4.
*****************************************
“Joke’s On Us” March 15, 1958 **** B
Very strange story about some Dodge ranchers with a strange sense of morality!
It stars Virginia Gregg (you’ll see her in plenty of Dragnet color episodes) as the
bereaved widow, and Bartlett Robinson as the shallowest of the ranchers who hanged an
innocent man (“the joke’s on us”).
-Chapter 2 starting :00: “Travel I (Tranquil Landscape)” [Western Suite] Bars 23-
36.
-Chapter 2 from 4:29 to 4:41: “Rain Clouds” (Western Suite) Bars 43-45. This
music is nicely placed with the scene of the hanged man, Tilman.
-Chapter 2 from 4:49 to 5:07: “Lead-In C” (Police Force) Bars 6-11.
-Chapter 3 from 3:26 to 3:38: “Lead-In E” (Police Force)
-Chapter 4 starting at 3:31: “Night Suspense” (Western Suite) Bars 1-12, 33-36.

“Bottleman” March 22, 1958 **** B
This episode stars the excellent character actor, John Dehner as town drunk, Tom
Cassidy, and Ross Martin (later of Wild Wild West fame) as Dan Clell.
[Note: No Herrmann music was used in this episode]
*****************************************
“Laughing Gas” March 29, 1958 **** A-
I rather like this moody tale about an ex-con trying to do a legitimate but risky (in
consequences) road show involving dentists’ laughing gas.
-Chapter 3 starting from :01: “Rain Clouds” (Western Suite)
-Chapter 3 starting :26: [????] Perhaps a fragment from “Opening D” (Police
Force) but will recheck.
-Chapter 3 starting from 4:40: “East Horizon” (Desert Suite) Bars 3-18.
-Chapter 4 from 3:32 to 4:32: “Mirages” (Desert Suite) mixed bars.
