I’m very partial to “The Rifleman: The Sheridan Story” with Royal Dano as Frank Blandon, a terribly wounded and embittered Confederate veteran given a job by Lucas who feels pitty for the poor guy.
Things get pretty dicey when a squad of Union officers, led by General Phillip Sheridan shows up, asking Lucas if they can bivouac on his property overnight, to which he also agrees, and the Civil War begins anew.
This episode could easily have been turned into an hour long episode. But the fine acting of Dano and excellent writing of Cyril Hume make it well worth the half-hour of “The Rifleman’s” format.
It’s available on YouTube. For those who haven’t seen it, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
The Rifleman has been on me tv or some kinda channel it amazes me how much story they could get into a 30 minute show
Is that the one where the Rebel soldier lost his arm and it never healed properly?
