- Bonanza - Episode 75 - The Countess - Unsettling events that could spell financial ruin for the Ponderosa mysteriously coincide with the arrival of a wealthy countess who seems determined to win the love of Ben Cartwright, the man she spurned twenty years before in New Orleans.
The Countess
Director: Robert Sparr
Writers: William R. Cox, William Powell (as William D. Powell)
Stars: Lorne Greene, Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker
Genre: Western
Country: USA
Language: English
Release Date: 19 November 1961 USA
Filming Locations: Paramount Studios - 5555 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA
Storyline:
Ben Cartwright's former sweetheart Lydia (Maggie Hayes), now the wealthy and widowed Lady Lydia Chadwick, returns to Virginia City. Upon her arrival, she makes a beeline to the Ponderosa, hoping to rekindle her romance with Ben. When he resists her charms, Lady Lydia vows to ruin him financially so he'll be forced to accept her love and support (shades of Dürrenmat's The Visit!)
Revviews:
"Margaret Hayes guest stars as an American part of the English landed gentry and an old flame of Ben Cartwright's visits the Ponderosa. The addition of Little Joe is a surprise, when she and Ben were hot and heavy Adam and Hoss were kids and Ben hadn't married Michael Landon's mom.
At the same time the Ponderosa starts getting squeezed financially and the Cartwrights are having a cash flow problem. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Lady Chadwick's visit and the financial problems are connected somehow. Other than for Lorne Greene who sees the woman he once might have married.
Hayes and John Alderson as her accountant/servant give a good account of themselves. This episodes even a Cartwright as wise as Ben can be a fool for love sometimes." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

Adam knew from the moment he walked in 😂 talking about something has changed.
that is the script of thee movie....
"A most charming and most coniving witch" - I´ve known a few in my day!
Adam my favorite Cartwright is the hero in this episode.
Bonanza ,,The Bast Americans Show Ever !!!
yes, the bAst.... fool
Ben dodged a bullet on this one.
Wow. This one was really well written. The most evil villain yet!
I admire how the Cartwright's enjoy having house guests, whether the guests are just visiting for a few minutes or staying for weeks.
They set such a prime example whether or not guest were expected. Loved all the cast. Every last one of them.
RIP.
Countess Linda was as crooked as an old rusted nail ...just plain wicked. She had decided to swoon Ben, ruin the Ponderosa, give him
$$$$ then she could have stock in the Ponderosa. Ben and the guys got wise to her and Montaque.
it IS a movie.... wake up!
@@nancydrew6679 then she would mysteriously drown in the river and everything goes back to the Cartwright clan.
@@robertheinrichvonseyfenste267 Actually it's a TV show. There's nothing wrong with admiring the qualities of fictional characters, they serve to inspire us to be become better people, The fact that you can't recognize or even appreciate that, tells us all everything we need to know about you.
Manners, and respect is what this world is missing a great deal of.
Ah, for the old days when we knew what a real conniving witch was!
My, don't they look handsome all dressed up.😉
.
@G. They sure do.
The countess breezing into town like Alexis Carrington.
And all she does is fluff up a few flower arrangements.
Adam is always on the alert. He is quite wise.
It's practically a superpower of his, how he can figure out a person just like that. Given how thick-headed Joe and Hoss and even Ben can be, it's an important skill to have.
Yes. Adam was always alert. The world needs more lerts.
ask the scriptwriter
But his father called him stupid and never apologized to him...😮
Montague took quite the beating in this episode LOL!!
Runyan took a couple ass whoopings from big Hoss as well . 🤣🤣🤣
L0
Remember me, "fat boy"! 😄😄😄
That charming conniving. Witch
I must say, I was mesmerized by her beauty, elegance and grace at first. 😂
funny thing, Initially i expected the twist to be the Countess was innocent and Montague was the one pulling the strings (And for the countess to die in the ensuing confrontation, as is Bonanza tradition), was pretty surprised he turned out to be more honourable than her in the end.
I momentarily thought the same, but I came to the full conclusion that it was her
I need to show up on the Ponderosa door step.
Maybe Pa Cartwright will have pity on me and take me in.
If the Ponderosa were real, I'd show up hoping Hoss would take a liking to lil ol' me... he's my favorite, and we both love caring for stray animals ❤
Sure, he'd take you in for a few days or weeks. Just head on upstaiirs. Hop Sing'll bring you breakfast in the morning.
Why was that box so heavy? All it had inside it was one framed painting, but even Hoss could barely lift it!!
The frame was probably what was heavy.
The weight of guilt.
The fight sequence with Ben & Montehue was hilarious the dbls were crystal clear & the punches had no contact yet they had sound effects #LMAO 😂!!!
This was such a great episode, thanks for the upload Grjngo. As always Adam is the one to figure it out.
Excellent episode! I am far, far less for the so called humorous shows and prefer this one and/or the great, often moving love/romance episodes or the lawman and Cartrights out saving people, saving themselves, etc. This show is "A+"
36:16 Adam - sharp / alert
Ben had 3 unique sons from 3 unique wives. Ben Cartwright was a true lover.
Yeah I guess with Ben when it came to wedding nights, "variety is the spice of Life" was his thing.
:)
Then it's to her benefit that they did not marry: Remember the Curse of the Cartwrights.
she was a wicked one
Yes crafty hen that linda
I LOVED WHOLE CAST LORNE GREENE AND PERNELL ROBERTS JR AND DAN BLOCKER AND MICHAEL LANDON FROM YOUR BIGFAN AND FRIEND ANN BENKOWSKI
That is a proud father of speaking of the land and the many years it took to have all it I think I will enjoy this
The Countess was sure convinced and assumes a photo of her and Ben on the wall of his home is appropriate. This is a gift you would give to your Fiance or wife not a freind. I just couldn't see giving a photo to a man who is only a "Freind" of him and myself. I heard the best line from HOSS Your "Lady ship". That was so funny that line. Excellent Episode🤗👍👍
You mean FRIEND
Absolutely! She's a piece of work.
Judy, yeah that portrait was inappropriate for her to give to Ben.
Probably every viewer put two and two together that she was behind all the trouble. It started when she got there.
@@billh.8515 Tell that to the writers! She thought of Ben more than just a friend!
It was obviously her way of saying that they should get back together.
She reminds me of my ex-wife. lol Hell hath no fury, like a woman [who thinks she has been] scorned.
Yes Jason they are bitches 😍😂🤣😂🤣😂
Perfectly stated.
She scorned him, she's the one who rejected him!
Ben sure dodged a bullet.
My thought exactly!
He at least should have unloaded his gun in her a few times while she was there if you catch my drift
Countess Whackadoodle
LMAO
Why is your comment right near the bottom? It's kind of funny.
If my fathers ex lover told me she could’ve been my mother I would’ve been so creeped out 😭 Little Joe handled that way better than I woulda loool
Best fight ive seen..
Know when youve lost and know when youve won.
@@lindalawon9151 who are largely British descendants.
She was up to no good ... written all over her face. Ben never attempted to kiss her at any point.
True. She looks so much like my deceased mother.
one minute they're in the valley. the next minute they're on the mountain top looking down over Crystal Bay. haha
I thought the portrait of Ben was horrible!
Every well-to-do person had Louis Vuitton 🙂
46:46 as Ben walks back near that cozy fireplace, he ought to reach out and grab the ruined painting / canvas, and put it in the fireplace. If she later commented about that, he could say "I thought you didn't want it, because you damaged it". LOL . .... Actually Ben is too polite and courteous to do a thing like that.
i dont understand why she hated ben so munch...
Fantastic episode
How conniving ! She wanted Ben so bad. Lol, Cartwrights outwit everyone. Great episode. Ben lucked out. If he had married her, they all would have been so miserable.
She probably wouldn't have lasted long, they never do.
Geez, with Ben calling her a conniving witch, I wonder what kind of names he'd call the modern high body count women of nowadays. Hahaha
At 6:42, Hoss, while carrying the wooden picture case aloft in front of his body and only his hat visible, politely replies "Yes'm" to the Countess and tips his hat with his left hand. Then, his hand is heard clapping back down to grasp the case again. But it's been established it's off the ground, and furthermore he is unassisted at the moment.
Hoss is as strong as two men. He must have been using the second fella's hands.
That's as good an explanation as any.
Scandalous Dan Blocker lies. Shame on you. 😂
😊
Ben could easily get a loan from San Francisco or other banks with his holdings. But they need drama.
MAYBE it would've taken too long before the men all just quit and never came back but yeah they don't think it all the way through. I mean they could wire money just like that back in the day, Ben wired money to a lawyer in SanFran during that episode with the marshal and David.
Yeah gotta have drama no good otherwise 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Land half the size of Rhode Island should be enough collateral.
The episode is fantastic. By the way: Adam, besides being beautiful, is very elegant. I observed his elegance in the scene where the countess's villainy is exposed.
She was a real nut job.
LOL
Excellent episode. 10/10.
Ooooohhh Lawdy..! Ben dun opened a can a whoopass on that ol' boy..! Hahaha 💪💪🍻🍺🤠👍
At 2:44 you can see on the left side of Hoss's long johns the wire going up that controlled his flip up tuxedo panel.
Only the Addis Ababa people were lucky to look The BONANZA film at a time of release in Addis Ababa television probably in late 60th and early 70th ; nowadays, I got a chance to see through my mobile and becomes my favorite films .
40:10 I guess Ben isn't always 'only' quiet and dignified and peaceful
He's definitely good with his fists.
Awwww I like this episode
Good one
I wouldn’t leave her alone in that house in her state of mind.
I have this is one of my favorite episodes of Bonanza. I play it lot I have it on DVD.
Somewhere around 33:00 or 33:29 -- I remembered the first chapter of Job in the Bible . . . " . . . And I alone am escaped to tell thee."
Good point. Hadn't thought about the Book of Job.
👍👌👏 Uuuuh, heavy stuff! At least the woman's revenge didn't kick in afterwards.
Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
Old Ben married 3 times and all died soon after their 1st child was born. Then, every time the sons fall in love those women die too. If I was sheriff I'd be mighty suspicious of them Cartwrights.
Oh man, the conniving thievery of them royals! Maybe Montague could make a fine comptroller for the Ponderosa if he gets his head on straight.
Haha, Linda is too old for Ben. Ben likes younger women :-))
Every day is rough on the Ponderosa.
16:30 Satisfying beatdown of an agitator. Hoss can throw some legit thunder.
Episode makes no sense. Ben clearly liked her. If she had just been patient, she would have gotten what she wanted.
When BEN was driving the buggy he was on The Countess left hand side & when they pulled up at the house he was on her right hand side.
Yep another blooper
They must have stopped briefly to share a kiss under a beautiful tree. It was probably so good they forgot where they were sitting before that. 😀
Maybe they stopped for a minute or so and got off the buggy.
Maybe she was riding in the middle for a while
As a gentleman Ben sat on the wet spot
Her outfit at 9:22 reminds me of The Courtship
Hoss had "nevere seen so much baggage"? the wicked witch had come to stay!
The moment the painting was revealed, plus when they found out about the mine and the lumberjacks, as well as the way Linda talked about her and Ben in New Orleans, I knew that she was behind it all. When Ben had come out of the land office and said that Montague's name was on the title, I momentarily thought it was only him and Linda had nothing to do with it, but then I realized that she was completely behind it
And Adam's suspicion was not without merit
Great Bonanza ❤
The poor artist who did all that work! I'd send her a BIG bill!:*(
She said she did it from memory.
@AndrewVelonis I think that was just another lie. Look how her own painting looked. I don't believe she painted the portrait.
Joe treats Hoss with such rude contempt so often, laughihng at him. Poor Hoss! It does seem like "Ben" would have castigated Joe now and then for that terrible behavior.
44:24 the Lady's sidekick / accountant / business manager -- When he makes his appearance, he ought to have a couple bandages on his face or head, and/or a scab or scar or bruises -- then her Ladyship could exclaim, "What happened to you?!" !
At around 44:10 he shows he's been banged up pretty good.
45:20 When you hate Lorne Greene, you're sitting at home, hating him, and he doesn't know; he's out dancing, having a good time.
Joe : i wounder what She wants?
Adam :She wants ap.
My best scene ❤️
that's "pa"
Great movie 😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍❤❤😅😅
Twenty-one minutes in ---- Adam arrives
But the countess was a gd looking women who Ben did have relationship with 20 yrs prior till she ran off with rich Englishman to get married!
Ben called Adam stupid and never apologized to him
I do think the Cartwrights might love the Ponderosa more than they love women though. The Countess has a point.
Jason, No I have to disagree.. Ben said he wouldn't put the Ponderosa before a woman. Another episode had him falling in love with an old friend who was a widow with a troubled son. She turned down his wish to marry her.
Much better investment
That’s the thing with most Westerns. You have a special love interest and when it gets serious, something happens to that person. It’s not like a fairy tale.
I'm only half-way through but can't shake the feeling that the Countess's helper has arranged this trouble but to what end? Doesn't seem like the Countess needs to play tricks to catch Ben. The Cartwrights' obvious misstep is not asking the bank who took out so much cash that made their reserves so low. And they haven't tried to determine who has an interest in seeing them fail. Seems odd to me that Ben would talk about a loan because surely he has a healthy balance at the bank. If they really need cash, then they can sell some cattle or some land. 27:30 she doesn't blink when a fire breaks out? She set that too? I dunno. I don't get it. He was totally into her until he got distracted by the problems that I'm assuming that she caused. Now I don't get why Ben doesn't talk to the men to determine how to calm their fears. I still don't get why helping Ben with money would buy her way into his family. It would turn a friendship into business. At that time marriage was perhaps more about an arrangement than love but it still doesn't make sense to me. 42:55 "... witch." :D :D :D that was beautiful perfection!
We will just call this biotch, "Super Biotch".
She's in on this
Ben has never been to England yet she knows him and he knows her like old friends. What a big question for me at the beginning.
He was in England in the episode where Adam was born.
@@coltgun876 No not in the country England, Ben was in the New England area of USA. Later in show tells they had met when she from England country visiting New Orleans USA when Ben was there - that’s where they met.
She went off to England to get married, they said that
I find some of these episodes could go another hour.
Adam should be 30 or 31 here cause he said the last time he saw that lady he was 11 and Ben said not quite 11 and towards the end she tells Ben she was trying to get something back from 20 years ago so if Adam was 10 almost 11 that would mean he is now 30 or 31 and we knows Hoss is like 6 to 7 years younger then him since Adam was 5 when he married Hoss's mom
I knew she was behind all this.
A "fairy tale family"
I grew much the same way, too idealistic and wealthy.
This is Amazing 👏🏾 The singing 👏🏾 the music 🎶 awesome background singing excellent The Words ,Stevie Wonder and Maurice White deep ! Amazing 👏🏾
bot
Very very interesting n lovely, 👍👌👌👌🤩🤩🤩🤩😍🥰😘
The way she plays dumb is her name Linda or Lynn-Duh?
Women never change.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
👍💗💗
What a ghastly woman! 😕
Yep. She would be a terrible woman to be married to. A liar and an evil manipulator.
I am enjoying you Tube
This show is good as well: ruclips.net/video/gji2XQwA2O0/видео.html
Such a horrible painting.
2012
👌18 10 22
not really a fan of Seinfeld, that pastel portrait of the Countess and Ben reminds me of that Cosmo painting, or for that matter the Anthony Soprano painting, a la Napoleon on a horse
Wasn't that also an awkward gift? Who gave Tony that ?
@@linsqopiring6816 Paulie Walnuts had the portrait commissioned, out of good will
Nice episode!
This is actually a good example of female behavior.
I agree; and that's the real lesson here.
Oooooooh, come ooooooooon. There's good and bad among both sexes. :)
😃😃😃😃😁
Shhhh dont' you know it's only politically correct to criticize men these days!
What she does is made and cruel to do that to Ben and his sons to just because does it fall in love with her again
The countess Linda acting so sweet & innocent yet she and her boy Montehue are staging the entire charade with men 1st at lumber then at mines 💰🤔?
