When I heard the name "Will Sonnet" my ears perked up. When I was a kid, a show came on called "The Guns Of Will Sonnet." It wasn't on very long. It starred Walter Brennan, probably some of that last work he ever did, and Dack Rambo.
That was super unexpected ending!! Thanks for the upload. Dick Powell ...I love him on the radio Richard diamond, private detective! He would sing at the end of each show. Sometimes a bit corny but it was a great to just close your eyes and listen to. The sheriff in this one was in many shows. Great character actor. 🙏
Originally presented on "BRISTOL-MYERS FOUR STAR PLAYHOUSE" on November 3, 1955. Dick Carr, who wrote this episode, later created "THE GUNS OF WILL SONNETT" (with producer Aaron Spelling), featuring a character with a similar name and shooting skill- who was seen only occasionally during the series [Walter Brennan and Dack Rambo were the stars].
Barry I. Grauman ... Guns pf Will Sonnett is a very good, interesting & entertaining series. 1 problem: different post-ers; not in sequence; & no room to show the season/episodes.... so it is difficult to sort out some of the episodes.
A well written western with a surprise ending from a place and time when justice and decency required a six shooter and a good man to hurl lead at evil at a moments notice, so that towns could grow and people could live and thrive, those places became Gods country, the United States of America, a place that cares little about your last name or the size of your wallet, a place that a man only needs heart and sweat and a little raw grit to make future.
Reminds me of two different things. 1) Marty Robbins song "Sundown" in which a blind former Texas Ranger has to face a young gunfighter and wins by judging the distance and position of the gunman by the sound of his voice. (He also, as in this show, fans his pistol and empties his gun.) 2) Dick Powell's character was named Will Sonnet. In the late sixties there was a western TV show staring Walter Brennan titled "The Guns of Will Sonnet." Any connection?
Dick Powell (b. 1904) is 23 years older than the young woman (b. 1927) who is playing his true love. The young woman's father (b. 1908) who is playing the sheriff is 3-4 years younger than Dick Powell.
This was an episode of Four Star Playhouse, which generally focused on drawing-room comedies and romantic stories. A western ep was a departure for the show. Any connection between this teleplay and the later "Guns of Will Sonnett" series are tenuous at best, other than the name. Aaron Spelling and Richard Carr, credited as creators of the TV series, had no involvement with the show seen here...though Aaron Spelling got his start in television production working for Powell's Four Star studio later in the 50s. It is possible, but there is no evidence, that the two might have discussed this at some point before Powell's death. (In the series, Will Sonnett, played by Walter Brennan, only became a lawman after finding his long-lost son in the final episode.)
Pretty sure this is the same set used in gunsmoke for dodge city the eye doctor is in the same building Doc Adams is in on gunsmoke at the top of the stairs.
Yeah, quite a twist alright. Did anyone notice how the muzzle moved as he fanned? Fanning wasn't actually a regular practice back then, esp with the earlier SA revolvers.
strattuner unless you’re up close with not many opponents. Then fanning is perfect like what Clint Eastwood did in the good bad n ugly with 5 guys. 1 bullet each.
@@strattuner Well under normal circumstances its stupid but if you were blind and didn't know where your target was at it might be your best bet if you were good at fanning.
I didn't see that coming, that was a good ending. However if I were the sheriff I would have said nothing to that old man, can you imagine if word got out that the man's future wife actually shot him.
funny, right off the get. that old man. that be me. he say, 'i never do'. pertaining to getting lonesome. same way honest god, got my cat and like it like that its' just all right with me, yes sir, never get bored, lonely, i'm an old man dammit. cat man du. i was always a transition man. never the main course. used to break my heart and cried my rear quarters off, but i'm so over that now and relieved it never came to be cause i am not father material even though i love kids, i even was one once.
have a 3rd gen 45 Colt SAA that shows the damage of fanning. Drag marks all around the cylinder. The 1st owner 'played fast draw cowboy' and fanned it till he broke the hand and then the bolt. drug on the nickel plate. I got it pretty reasonable,; had a smith replace the hand but Colt wont re plate it. Damn shame Dont fan a SAA and dont snap a dbl sideways to close the cylinder it bends the crane!!! Treat em right and your - great - grandchildren will still have a good tool to shoot..
Replacing the cylinder bolt is a fairly easy job(had to do one myself took about 20 minutes) so its not a huge deal. If you want to fan revolvers go ahead you just need to understand that it's going to accelerate wear and isn't very practical for actually hitting anything.
@@redtra236 The 2nd hand Dolt SAA I got - for utilitarian reasons - has a serious drag mark in the nickel all around the cylinder. The3 smith told me why.. True it killed snakes along the river so my kids could fish but it looks terrible and Colt says they canbt re nickel it. .I guess if you want to crud up your revolver do whatever. I just passed a warning along. OK
@@redtra236 Strange that a simple piece of advice has engendered so much response .A good Colt is a fine piece of machinery treat it as such..Dont abuse it But whatever floats your boat. I guess. I too have changed out a hand and bolt on a 22 after some 25,000 rounds .but not everybody can. I hate that my revolver looks terrible because some a$$ abused it playing cowboy. Serial nbr says it was made in Apr '68 and he traded it off in Jun of '70. PS I also advise against slamming the cyl shut on a dsbl risking a bent crane.. I also have Manhatten C&B made 1st wk of Nov 1861..The hammer spring was replaced in 1979 and one nipple is gone but it still shoots true. because it was CARED FOR over the past 160 years. You can still see the "mock Colt" roll engraving on the cyl.. Treat your guns with respect!

Very entertaining - a good cast with Dick Powell, Robert Wilke, and Raymond Hatton.
Superb... Thanks agian
Thanks Bob for uploading this episode.
Thanks for the movie
Raymond Hatton, one of my all time favorites.
Oh! What an ending!
Oh my this was awesome. Such a gem
Any western with Angie Dickinson in it is absolutely stellar thanks take care
Why are you bringing up Angie Dickinson??🤷🏻♂️
I thought Lucy looked like Angie too, but it's Jean Howell.
Dick Powell one of my favorite actors
Really enjoyed seeing Dick Powell!!
Dang good one. 🤠👍🏿
I'm s glad to have watched this great ending
WOW, simply fantastic! Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
Excellent screen writing, fabulous acting. Your intro was delightful. Thank you.
thank you for share these wonderful tv shows
An episode of the 1950s anthology series "Four Star Playhouse". This episode aired 3 November 1955.
Really nice show.
Thank you. I enjoyed this. Please know that you made some people happy. It was a surprise.
Pure gold! Loved it! Thank you for posting!
Like the gunfight in liberty valance. Lucy played John Wayne
Great movie

Loved it
Hey great western.movie Thanks
Great Series Episode. I always liked Robert J Wilke's acting. Thanks. Out.
Great ending!
Love these,THANK YOU !!!!!
Fantastic
No good western is complete without a main street fast draw in it !!!
Great Western even I a.m. going to say I didn't see this coming at the end it was like at Pearl harbor sneak attack thank you good movie 👍🇺🇸
The ending was a surprise, but not the only time--"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"
That hit the spot🎉
What About A TV Western Called Temple Houston? MY PARENTS LOVED THE SERIES BUT I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE.......
Robert J. Wilke starred many and many westerns!
Wow ! It's Dick Powell. HIMSELF .
A good woman has her man's back.
Robert J. Wilke is one of the best western bad guy in his time.
It was nearly impossible to tune in to a western in which he wasn't cast!
Wow, never saw that coming, that's a great short movie
I like this time machine

Good western; with a good ending.
good show, my compliments Sir
This might be the first b&w western other than Gunsmoke Ive enjoyed.
Dick Powell was awesome
As all the Forsaken westerns ,this is one of my favorites, does that make any sense, I can't save them all in my downloads. Decisions decisions,
I love this series and also I l😅ve the theme music but can’t findnthentitlenofnthenkusic
Wow didn't see that ending coming, loved it thanks.
Robert Wilke bad man!

hoíum )
😂😂👍😂😂😂😂😂
Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me.
Yeah that was a twist ending. Wasn't expecting it.
Thanks for watching
That was nice.
There was a Western TV series titled, The Guns of Will Sonnett
I STILL REMEMBER DICK POWELL FROM THE ZANE GREY THEATER.
Very thanks
do you think should've made this list The Forsaken Westerns - A Spray of Bullets - tv shows full cinemamega/net
T
Brown prêtty thank you very much
neat ending.
that Jean Howell was a looker.
Did you notice her striking resemblance to Angie Dickinson at the same age?
Reminds me of two different things.

if it's in black and white, it's a good Western
the bigger the hats, the better the movie.
He didn't see clear his opponent, so he emptied his gun,awesome
Fa5tgrass biggest hat I ever saw in a western was the phantom rancher. Great show.
Fred Yup!!!!🙏
Dick Powell (b. 1904) is 23 years older than the young woman (b. 1927) who is playing his true love. The young woman's father (b. 1908) who is playing the sheriff is 3-4 years younger than Dick Powell.
Lucky cuss!

Mike Stidham ...you really want to spoil the ending for others? not nice
Didn't see that coming.
Will Sonnet. I remember the TV series "The Guns of Will Sonnet" starring Walter Brennan and Dack Rambo
Created by Dick Carr (who wrote this episode) and Aaron Spelling.
Barry I. Grauman ... I never care who created, wrote, produced.... I just want to know who starred.
Pretty sure this is the same set used in gunsmoke for dodge city the eye doctor is in the same building Doc Adams is in on gunsmoke at the top of the stairs.
This must be Dick Powell's ZANE GREY THEATRE . A Season One or Two Episode.
This is before Dick Powell's Zane Grey theatre
@@westernsontheweb Hmm…In that case, it must have been FOUR STAR PLAYHOUSE
Yeah, quite a twist alright. Did anyone notice how the muzzle moved as he fanned? Fanning wasn't actually a regular practice back then, esp with the earlier SA revolvers.
single action is the only weapon you can fan,fanning is stupid due to the time it needs for reloading including speed loaders
strattuner unless you’re up close with not many opponents. Then fanning is perfect like what Clint Eastwood did in the good bad n ugly with 5 guys. 1 bullet each.
@@strattuner Well under normal circumstances its stupid but if you were blind and didn't know where your target was at it might be your best bet if you were good at fanning.
We'll just over look the fact that the girl committed a major felony.
Apparently not in those days.
:)
The Rifle Woman !!!!
That was one awkward kiss.
Got a feeling that one of them turned their head the wrong way than was supposed to.
The guy with the perfect crooner's voice in a taut western! Alright Dick Powell! Who's the babe in this one?
Her name is Jean Howell. The old codger is Arthur Space who was in a slew of movies back in the day.
By the way I think that Jean looks a little like Angie Dickinson, another good looking babe.
Use to pretent I was loosing my vison to slack on painting jobs my 20/60 vison made me see shadows that weren't there.
The girl didn't want to see him kill anymore, so she kills for him.
Wasn't opposed to the his killing, just his dying.
I see a LIBERTY VALANCE theme?
Possible inspiration for The man who shot Liberty Valance?
Do you suppose this, perhaps, was the inspiration for The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence?
🐴💖💯😎👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🔔
BBBBBBorriinnngggg!
Ever notice the horses in these old westerns? The all seem to be sedated.
I fly without wings and cry without eyes what am I. No one can match it so you. Send massage
AMEN! PRAISE THE LORD!
AND PASS THE AMMUNITION!

Never give up your guns....especially for a woman. Screw that. Stay armed - be prepared.
No brag, just fact.
