Four Star was one of the best of the newly-minted studios of the 1950s dedicating itself strictly to television production. They had quite a few hits and quite a few very, very underrated shows. (Law of the Plainsman was one of the smartest-written, smartest-played Westerns of its time, maybe a little ahead of its time. And Richard Diamond, Private Detective might seem to have been camp but it played the private-eye genre for laughs, stayed true to the show's radio root, and didn't overdo things quite the way the infamous Warner Brothers private-eye shows---77 Sunset Strip, Hawaiian Eye, Surfside 6, etc.---went on to do.)
