“Overland Express” May 31, 1958 ***** A
This is a thoroughly entertaining action story. I particularly enjoyed seeing Clem
Bevens as old man “Fly.” He was a steady fixture of many western movies and some tv
shows. I think he always played an old man! Simon Oakland is terrific as suspected
murderer, Jim Nation. Moreover, for a change, you will be treated to a great deal of
Herrmann music in this episode.
-Chapter 2 from :00 to :09: “The Hunt” (Western Saga) Bars 87-99
-Chapter 2 from :10 to :19: “Lead-In A” (Police Force)

“The Gentleman” June 7, 1958
-Chapter 4 from 5:26 to 5:56 (end of story): “Dramatic Finale (Americana)” by
Rene Garriguenc. Cue # 187, CBS 8-47-C.All 10 bars, :30. Note: There is no Herrmann
music in this episode but I thought I would mention this rather Herrmannesque cue
composed by the talented Rene Garriguenc. You will hear this cue more in the Have Gun
Will Travel episodes.
