Song in the Dark
Director: Don McDougall

Stars: Lorne Greene, Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker
Genre: Western
Country: USA
Language: English
Release Date: 13 January 1963 USA

Storyline:
Gregory Walcott is cast as Danny Morgan, a guitar-strumming "travelling troubadour." Grateful that Danny once saved his life, Adam Cartwright returns the favor by hiring the wandering minstrel as a ranchhand. The plot thickens when Danny is accused of murdering Widow Baker, with the sole witness claiming he heard singing just as the woman was killed. It is up to Adam to prove Danny's innocence-or guilt. Incidentally, Gregory Walcott's singing was dubbed in by Pernell Roberts, who plays Adam.
Reviews:
"The story is powerful. A slow guitar player-ranch hand gets accused of murdering a lady in Virginia City for her money. Adam is a good friend to the ranch hand and firmly believes him innocent. There is also a part about a married man who wants to open up a church very soon.
The only reason I do not give this above average, very powerfully directed ep 10 stars is that it is honestly a little uneven. How did Adam manage to get shot off his horse by the preacher-wannabe without the former getting hurt. Plus other holes. Still well-worth your viewing more than once!" Written by smithbea on IMDb.com
"This Bonanza episode descends into the Gothic horror genre with a pair of performances that make your skin crawl from guest stars Edward Andrews and Gregory Walcott.
Drifter Walcott is given a job at the Ponderosa after saving Pernell Roberts's life on the desert. He's a night creature which in itself is not good when you have to get up before daylight to get to work. He rides at night and sings with self accompaniment on the guitar. He sings that Red Rock Rim song almost to annoyance, but Walcott's voice is pleasing enough.
But it becomes creepy when he's accused of first murdering a widow and robbing her of$10,000.00 in savings. After which he's accused of another murder this one of Virginia Christine the wife of Reverend Edward Andrews who is obsessed with building a pure church with no sinning allowed.
Andrews is obsessed with having the kind of church that Jerry Falwell or John Hagee might have today given what was around in the old west to build.
It's all quite a puzzle, but Adam Cartwright figures the guy that saved his life just isn't a murderer.
Andrews and Walcott are worth seeing this Bonanza story for." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

Man don't you just love Adam Cartwright 😘🥰,he's such a great actor and a pure heart
@Inspire PlusTV. Yes, Adam Cartwright was my favorite character. When Pernell Roberts left the show in 1965, I was crushed. The show went downhill rapidly then. Adam Cartwright was so level headed. He was very handsome, intelligent, masculine, and charming. He had a very big heart. He really cared about others. He very rarely flew off the handle about things. I also noticed that Pernell Roberts was an excellent actor, singer, and musician. He had such a wonderful singing voice. I liked him a lot!! 😊🐎🐴
@@lynettepalecek3141 DITTTTTTTO TO THE LETTER ON ADAM! QUITE A MAN OF GREAT INTEGRITY TOO!
@@rhondawoodhouse5508 I agree. He was quite a man of integrity.
i agree with you.... a great actor and very natural in his acting. ..and very confident .
He was the worst actor of the lot. Always read his lines pretty flat and the end of this episode shows why. When he didn't, his acting became really hammy and weird like at the end of this episode.
Another great example of Pernell at his best! As other's has noted, the voice of the singer was marvelous.
As you probably already know, Pernell Roberts dubbed the singing in this episode. He had perfect pitch when he sang. He was a marvelous singer!!
Such a great plot of the Storys near end of Adam catching Edward Andrews the real religious pulpit
I agree. Pernells voice was just beautiful.
Nice to see the bookshelf in Hoss's room. I think that was to point out that Hoss was a smart guy (Dan Blocker did have a master's degree).
Yeah I learned recently that he was a school teacher before become an actor.
Hoss was a smart guy, although he wasn't as educated as Dan Blocker or Adam.
I absolutely love Pernell’s voice, he sings so smoothly. I also loved the ‘Twilight Zone’ and ‘Alfred Hitchcock’ vibes in this one, especially towards the end. The man who played the corrupt preacher was also quite good. Played insanity well! I wanted this one to be longer!
Another finely scripted, acted and directed episode. Pernell's Adam is as humane as his father and a true friend. Gregory Walcott, Edward Andrews and Virginia Christine did a great job with their roles. I understand that the singing was his, or at least, over-dubbed. If so, Pernell was a highly underrated performer. If Hoss was the heart and soul of the series, then Adam was the brains. Overall, another enjoyable hour. Many thanks!
@@armathanya8000 Thanks for sharing.
Happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for tuning in!🤠✌🍿📺
Sometimes Adam was too convoluted in his reasoning, but overall a good human being
Pernell Roberts was definitely, without a doubt, an extremely underrated actor, singer, and musician. I watched him in another episode where he sang and played the guitar for a man who was trying to woo a woman into wanting to marry him. Pernell Roberts's voice was like velvet. He had perfect pitch! He really was singing and playing the guitar in that episode.
Little joe the romantic son and ben wise ben
Oh my goodness, that huge white horse is beautiful. So majestic.🐎
They killed her off in another episode, to create a tragic moment.
@@charlesvan13 Shhhh, don't tell everyone...they'll cry!
@@user-pd7il3xz5j
It wasn't real.
Though I heard they had to euthanize horses in some episodes.
@@charlesvan13 That's the magic of film...of course it's not real, but for us it seems so real. Otherwise, why would we even bother watching. 😉
@@user-pd7il3xz5j
I suppose they drug the horse to get it to lie down, as if it were injured.
I always loved listening to Pernell Roberts sing! I remember watching a "Bonanza" episode where a man wanted to woo a woman into marrying him. Adam Cartwright sang and played his guitar out of the sight of her while the man was lip syncing and pretending to play the guitar. In that episode, it was crystal clear that Pernell Roberts really was singing and playing the guitar. He had perfect pitch! He was a fantastic singer. He had such a wonderful singing voice!! I just melted when I watched him sing!! Wow!
YES.. The Wooing of Abigail Jones episode. Classic and funny episode
@@robertbisbal6252 Yes, I agree. Lol.
very true.
Wooing of Abigail Jones is season 3, that’s a cute episode.
Maiden sow was the song
That song is so haunting. Gets stuck in my head for days on end every time I re-watch this episode
Bonanza is the best tv show to re-watch, so well written and acted, you learn so much about the guest characters on re-watch
That song just repeat repeat and repeat ... never ending.
Means a man in sorrow never ending ...
Rim rim under the red rock rim
Not as much as "when a man takes a gun by the hand".
I get the savon drugstore song over and over again in my head like under the red rock rim Danny sings
Edward Bryant Andrews was such a brilliant actor. I loved all his work. He is at his best in this episode. This seemed almost like a Alfred Hitchcock Presents show.
Good comparison.
Yes! I just posted that, too! A HItchcock film: shadows, lighting, soundtrack, camera angles, especially on the staircase. Brilliant!
Funny you should say that I just got finished watching one right before seeing this episode.
Yeah a very disturbing twist, great episode.
This episode was so amazing and creepy, what a disturbing twist. Great they used Pernell Roberts beautiful singing voice in this episode too.
I just LOVE Modal folk songs. They can be so insightfully haunting.
God bless you
listen to "when a man takes a gun by the hand" sung on bonanaza also.
Why he called musical instruments "tools of the devil"?
That poor white horse had to put up with listening to the same song over and over again.
And being shot at by the preacher
I had no idea about how timeless the writers of Bonanza were, are. Acting is all about storytelling. And oh my goodness as the comments have expressed all the appreciation for said story telling. It's funny how Pernell, Gregory Walcott, and Edward Andrews had developed their craft of acting to bring forth the scripted story of timeless issues that press our society in this 21 st century.
Yes some tv shows and movies do age well and some don't, Bonanza has aged well, where IMO Big Valley didn't, I used to think Heath was so cool, but now he looks ungrateful and forced his way into their home and always had an attitude towards them, the show just doesn't look as good, Gunsmoke aged good also
This episode was jam packed with a whole lot of stuff; Religion, spirituality, trusting one’s instincts, loneliness, thieving, pure souls, it even showed a bit of that “mob mentality” that we are all too familiar with these days, as well as false prophets. Good episode, one of the better ones. 👍🏿
Yes the left is causing a lot of damage these days with the help of the news brainwashing people and twisting the facts to get you to believe a lie.
@@orange70383 Yup, right you are.
@@orange70383 lol...its the racists like chump...who believe in lies and conspiracies.....very soon they will have to be rounded up and sent to montana....then we can build a 50 foot wall around them...drop in a few cattle and 10 times as many guns...and they will do the rest
@@jadezee6316 No thanks, we done got ourselves enough guns, cattle, and trumper bumpers to go all around. Montana's a magnet for 'em.
@@orange70383 I never seen such a truckload of BS in my life
GREAT writing, and GREAT storyline. Truth always wins in the end!
thank you JESUS for accepting us sinners into your family and for forgiveness we don’t deserve and could never earn
God bless you & what a beautiful brilliant messge you posted & lovely nme you have
Amen
Amen! Ephesians 2:8,9.
AMEN!
Blessed is he who loves Jehovah
Adam is a smart class act :)
Yea really shows how 'smart' he is when his 'plan' if you could even call it that involved letting a deranged murderer take a carefully aimed shot at him. Wtf? he could have been so easily killed.
This was an excellent episode. A lot of spirituality in this one. I really like the guitar! Thanks as always for posting this.
Spirituality? Huh
Gregory walcott played a great role in this episode of Bonanza like the old, wandering western minstrel singing alone riding under stars of the old west
Danny has one beautiful horse😁🦄
I bet Pernell Roberts had fun acting in this episode. 😉
Am I the only one who would have loved to have seen Adam stalk up the stairs to their bedroom in the night like he climbed those stairs 😁😁
Probably old women who need cobwebs cleared.
@@evangelene12 welp...deal me in 😁😁😁
This one was very intense.
One of the best episodes, very Hitchcockian.!
I thought it was a great episode...Thank you for posting. 💕
Happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for tuning in! 🤠✌🍿📺
God bless you Synethi@ Bell
Le passage dans l escalier entre mon pernell et l autre acteur est formidable ils se complètent magnifiquement bravo❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's probably the angle he wears his hat,but he does have a look of Joe Riley(William Smith)from Larado.I wish somebody would put that show on YT.What Adam did was brilliant.
Thank you JESUS our Lord!!!
What a actor and messages
A touch ot the NIGHT OF THE HUNTER. Danny Morgan provides the singing, Edward Andrews the religious falsehood that Robert Mitchum conveyed in that 1955 film directed by Charles Laughton. Good episode with Adam in great form. Thanks for posting!
👍👌👏 Great acting, great cast! But, good grief, the same song over and over again? 😁😁
Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this old series.
Best regards luck and health.
I don't know if the actor actually sang or he was lip syncing, but whoever sang that song had a very rich and wonderful voice.
Yes, the actor, (Gregory Walcott), did lip-sync. The vocals were actually sung by Pernell Roberts. 🙂
I'm nearly 55 yrs. old now, but even as a little kid, watching this, (as a rerun), in the early to mid '70's, I remember realizing even then, what a great vocalist Pernell Roberts was!
Just wanted to add that I read somewhere, a few years ago, that the actor, Gregory Walcott; had a real good singing voice himself.
I read that supposedly, he also, recorded vocals to that song, for this episode, but they got Pernell to record it too, & opted to use his vocals instead.
Curious thing is, there is not a version of this song included in the Bonanza CD Box Set, (which was released several years ago), to go along with all the others, which Pernell Roberts sang in other episodes.
Nor can I locate any info of a recorded version of this song, by Gregory Walcott.
Kinda strange.......!
@@Ron-vq3zl You know anything about the lyrics? Can they be found somewhere?
@@Ettibridget
I have no idea. I've search a bit for the lyrics to this song myself, and haven't found anything, so far.
One place which I'm pretty sure the lyrics can be found, is the "Library of Congress" web-site.
I would imagine that you'd have to fill out an online form & possibly pay a fee, to get a copy of the lyrics from there, but I've never looked into it yet, so I couldn't tell you for sure.
Btw; I just realized one thing which I've neglected to mention, thus far.
The actor, Gregory Walcott; was the writer of this song: "Under The Red Rock Rim." Which I suppose, is how they "reportedly" came to record him singing it, as well as Pernell Roberts.
Ron
P. S.
Not sure if "Red Rock" is one word, or two! 🙂
R.
lol...sung by pernell...but he unfortunately didn't have the voice people who liked him claim...
Don mcdougalls great episode
I'm getting started right now building MY miracle church, free of sinners with *magnificent windows* 😂
Meu delicioso Adam Cartwright, sabe resolver tudo, que competência,
Meu amor 💕.
A rim job so wonderful, it gets it's own ballad.🙂
1:08 chin raise is hilarious
Now a days they would never allow a prisoner to have things in the cell is they could harm themselves with!
Thankfully we don't execute them the next day anymore.
Your Review was kinda strange,Adam could have used a shelter like Clint did in one of the dollars trilogy.This ep is fantastic as a whole
Came back to this episode - and is Pernell playing the Bonanza theme at @ 3:34?! So cool!
Ever notice all or most of the women on this show have blue eyes ?
If only he’d learn at least one other tune!
Great acting.
I recognized Edward Andrews right away as the preacher. It was strange seeing him without the glasses 👓 that he wore in an episode of "The Andy Griffith Show." In "The Andy Griffith Show" he played a professor. He was in another show where he wore glasses. Here, his voice isn't as deep and he's thinner than when he played a professor in "The Andy Griffith Show" on September 13, 1967.
The writers for Bonanza sure came up with some villainous, super freaks.
Yeah. Thunder Man scarred me for a long time, this one too, as a pre teen watching these in my room. They don't bother me as much now, but dang Bonanza was crazy 😅
Ver bonanza jamás nos aburre eso estoy principio pierdo mucho x idioma pocos espanol
Can Adam play the guitar, well I must say he is pretty good
You can see Adam playing guitar and singing in several other episodes. He has a beautiful voice.
@Sarina. Yes he can!!
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction" ~ Blaise Pascal
Oh please. People do evil in the name of everything. It's a people problem - not a religion problem. So spare us your antitheist hate speech.
@@samuelrosenbalm Ahh.... so burning Giordano Bruno at the stake with the full consent of ALL of the highest members of the Church in Rome, right down to the Pope, for the audacity to suggest that the stars could be other suns like ours was "just a people problem".... LMAO! I suggest you take a real hard look at the history of religion...
@@samuelrosenbalm religion makes good people do evil things
@@samuelrosenbalm: You must have a reading comprehension problem... the quote says "SO COMPLETELY AND CHEERFULLY"... it does not imply in any way that men only do evil out of religious conviction.
12:56 Adam reholsters his side arm, wraps in the piece above the hammer with a small catch
Always wonder how many men were hung for circumstance. Before proper evidence.
Too many.
The people in the town are always so fast to hang in Bonanza, mostly the Cartwrights seem to want justice and what's right.
What's more cowboy than riding a horse with a guitar hat handgun and singing a sad song?
No I Love Little Joe He is so Cute ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Adam is a genius God bless you you really played this role no disrespect to nobody evil is here walk with God and you shall be saved
Good guest stars on Bonanza, Adam Cartwright should have never brought a cowhand with a criminal record.
Another episode of meanings religion trust and believing in yourself and your friends Adam trusted his friend he believed in his friend and the family stood by him thank you so much i await for the next episode hopefully more Adam Toy soldier oh i love that episode ❤
You would think that he could learn another song, dang.
The royalties for using a song are high, so it is cheaper to write their own song, and repeat it over and over.
I really liked this episode, but got tired of hearing the same lyrics over and over.
God bless you It's eery music, song isn't it
Hay amar este serie verlos capitulos inglés todos mayoría y leer todos comentarios para ayudarnos comprender trama de los diálogos x dios santo ayuden con traducciones xvfa ojalá alguien nos ayude con espanol gracias todos
Edward Andrews is terrific in this frightening performance. Too bad Pernell Roberts is not his equal in their big confrontation at the end. His mugging is so phony.
Nonsense. Adam's performance was perfect and got the confidence of the religous fanatic..
At 13:20, what's Hoss doing in the barn when there's food on the table?
Guy riding around at nite signing can look rather suspicious.
To do evil, we ask God's grace, but in d end God knows what's to b done with us🙏, 👍👌😍🥰😘⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Singing western troubadour like gene Autry
Es triste uno amando serie hay pocos espanol x alguien no los traduce x fa .gracias
he is in jail who else knew about the 10,000 dollars? that is the question I would ask.
He had a key to a lock to the attic but folks didn't have locked front doors to their houses but businesses had locked doors, never understood that
He had a key to the attic, so that he could lock it, to keep his wife from discovering that he had the dead widows money!
I'll bet he prob'ly didn't start locking the attic, until after killing the widow, and stashing her money inside that pulpit! 😉 🙂
I have never seen a house without a lock on the front and back doors. We didn't lock ours very often, but always did if we left home for overnight. I am old enough to have seen some really old homes.
@@leeannafitzgerel8740 When I was a young girl in the 1960s, we never locked the front door or the back door of our house except when we went on vacation and we were gone for 6 weeks straight. We lived in a valley in the country back then. I remember when my mother forgot to take the car key out of the ignition when she went into the house. None of us knew that she did that. A couple of hours later, she remembered that she did that and she sent one of us kids to go get it. The car was in the driveway. The car was still there with the key still in the ignition. No one stole it. We were also able to keep our bikes in the driveway without having to lock them up and we would go into the house. No one stole our bikes either. That's why I don't think that it was strange for the houses in the 1860s to be kept unlocked.
The actor who played the character Danny Morgan has appeared in several episodes of Bonanza.,that of a bad guy, as well as a sheriff.
Edward Andrews sure seemed to play the bad, corrupt character quite often; even in the Don Knotts movie, How To Frame a Figg. 😁
45:24 This is why Adam is the smart one 😂
Rim, rim under the red rock rim
In the beggining the old man that showed up reminds of water but. "Music is the beble" 😂🤣😅
Mad man singing when people are in bed.
I notice as Ive been watching these shows almost all the people in the show were north of 45. Except maybe for joe.
Doesn't the singer sound like Pernell?
The singer was Pernell Roberts.
@@lynettepalecek3141 So they dubbed his voice for the other guy?
@@mjsolomon Yes they did.
The guy at 13:08 looks like Norm from "Cheers."
Spooky
Did they investigate properly? I mean which side of the hand did miss Baker's fingernails got skin n blood ?
What it must be like then no tv no radio entertainment guitars newspapers opera gambling in the old west
What is the name of that song? Is it called "Rim-Rim Under the Red Rock?

you've been *aiding and abetting him;
Minute 4:50 Adam puts his guitare leaning to the wheels : then when the carriage starts and goes on, we don't see what happens to the guitare then!!!
You weren't paying attention very well. The guitar was leaning against the rim and Adam was standing next to it. As the preacher goes back to the seat of the vehicle, Adam and the guitar are out of sight long enough for him to pick up the guitar. Btw, you're a terrible speller. You misspelled the word "guitar."
That was a weird one.

I didn't like this one at all. It was so annoying and SLOW!

Is this how Oral Roberts, Jerry Falwell, and the rest of the nutjobs got their starts?
Oral Roberts, Jerry Falwell, and the preacher in this episode were ALL false preachers.

Is Danny Morgan really singing? If not; who is - I would like to find the recording!!
It was actually Pernell Roberts singing, he had a beautiful voice, I don't know if there is a recording of this.
Why do the sheriff's keep changing without any explanation?
Could be a fill in, Roy Coffee maybe on vacation?

Crazy minister. Does he have to carry the whole thing (pulpit). 10k is such a small amount to carry.

Didn't the Bible speak of anyone who afflicted a widow woman God would punish that person hypocrite he was
I knew as soon as I saw Edward Andrews who the culprit was 😆
