Reviews:
"This particular episode of Bonanza is centered on Pernell Roberts as Adam Cartwright. After making a successful cattle deal, Adam is robbed in the desert and left their without, horse, water, gun or food. He manages to make it to a mine where Lee Marvin is working a claim in the middle of nowhere.
Believe it or not, this was the frying pan into the fire for Adam. What Marvin wants is a slave to work the mine and when he hears who Adam is all his pent up resentments about class and the rotten life Marvin has had burst forth.
Though Lee Marvin and the regulars do a grand job, the story was way too unbelievable for me. If you see it you will not believe that Adam Cartwright would have been as civilized as all that." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
"This was a memorable episode as it is not typical in any way. I am guessing here but I think they let Pernell Roberts have input on the script, or they wrote him into this exclusively to somehow appease him to last through his contract. A Bonanza fan site says "This episode was one of Pernell Roberts' personal favorites, as it gave him the best opportunity to showcase his acting abilities." (Bonanza Wiki). I was curious how far in to Roberts' Bonanza run this episode was, it was released in 1962 so he still had two more seasons to act in, perhaps without this episode Roberts' Bonanza run would have been even less? I was surprised that he was in 200 episodes, that's a long run for a TV show, and he got out around the half way point! Back to the story, this seemed so far fetched, I lost all belief and decided to watch it as a Lee Marvin vs Pernell Roberts death match fight. Things I noticed, a bath tub scene with Little Joe (hey ladies, lol). Also, the make up department had a field day with everyone here making them all deep brown tanned. The tan part must have been tied into early color TV and how they could make the show appealing on an early color TV? Part of my disappointment in this episode is that Marvin's role is weak and more typical of his wacko self from the 50's like in episodes of Dragnet, and not the more developed character he developed in his own show (M Squad) and the films he was in at the time (Liberty Valance). Sad that he was not in any more episodes but he was a busy actor on the way up at the time. He would have been a great gang leader that threatens to kill ALL the Cartwright's! Instead this is all we get from Lee Marvin on Bonanza. I predicted to my wife, who was also watching, that Ben Cartwright would kill Marvin (I was wrong). I was ready to give this episode a lower mark but the ending is a real tearjerker and Adam really looks delirious in the end so that brought it up for me. Even though the episode is silly and unrealistic, the ending made it an entertaining episode for me to watch, 6 or 10." Written by verbusen on IMDb.com

[@meltyenjoys]

I find it incredibly interesting that Adam is dressed in a white shirt instead of his regular full black getup for this episode. Maybe symbolism of his strength and virtue despite the torture he experiences from Kane? The dirtier his clothes get, they’re still white. Intentional or not, it still makes for some nice symbolism for the overall episode. That ending was so moving too! Adam breaking down in the arms of his family - so many feelings! 🥺

[@isabelalzateestrada]

One can find fault with the intro, Adam and Joe speaking openly about 5K. But we realize there is less than 50 minutes for bringing the plot to a conclusion. The writers had to get quickly into the meat of the plot. And Pernell and Lee Marvin did not disappoint. Stunning performance by both actors.

[@linsqopiring6816]

Just making excuses, it's not rocket science to come up with another scenario to explain what happened. Lazy writing, and showing Adam's character to be a true nit wit.

What a fantastic episode. I cried when Adam cried. A broken spirit after going through pure hell and at the end of it, "pa." ❤️ Such fine acting by both men.

I always have Wikipedia's list of episodes from Bonanza, and after a brief description of this episode, it said it was one of Pernell's favorite episodes because it showcased his acting ability.

Good actors all around yes. But somewhat of a contrived story. Those days petty theft, street robbery day and night, murders for a few dollars was rampant. No one sat around, or walked around loudly discussing a $5,000.00 payday in a bar or anywhere else outside of closed doors. They kept that kind of cash in tight money belts tucked away under their shirts, and did not discuss it.

This is such a poignant moment. I love the Bonanza series and especially this episode. Pernell Roberts shines. Just a beautiful ending to a harrowing nightmare.

[@nancysherburne7445]

You could compare the moving ending to the ending in A Matter of Circumstance, the last episode in season 11. Joe is severely injured by a frightened horse and spent I don't know how much time at the Ponderosa alone. In the end, after an unsuccessful attempt at amputation, Ben and Hoss showed up. A doctor was called and Joe was placed on his bed with the food, water, and medicine he needed. The look on his face in the final shot made clear how he felt to be safe with his father there to take care of him so he'd be all right. It was a trying episode to watch, just as The Crucible was, but the ending made it all worthwhile.

Lee Marvin was such a brilliant actor. I loved all his work. Bonanza was lucky to hire him, he was one dramatic powerhouse. I loved him in the 1964 remake movie, The Killers, and the intense Hell in the Pacific (1968). Stellar performance by Pernell Roberts. Landon wrote part of this script, and a great it was.

Lol ...well they had to make a storyline.

[@joeowens6180]

Adam is willing to sacrifice his own life to maintain the Honor and Integrity of his humanity, rather than be tempted "in the desert by a Satanic force" that would tempt him to abandon his nobility of soul. An amazing and morally relevant allegory. In the end, "angels" came and ministered to him. An example for all of us to follow. The suspense was interminable - Pernell Roberts was beyond praise in playing this part. Of Lee Marvin - this was just his kind of role, he always played an evil and cruel part in any movie. Maybe it was his menacing voice that always type casted him. A splendid and though-filled episode.

[@rosered103]

@Joe Owens.... Joe Lee Marvin played an epic guy in The Dirty Dozen. I watch the movie once a year.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

@Joe Owens. Your comment was well written Joe. Adam proved that his Christian moral values that were instilled in him by the way that his father brought him up prevailed. You're right. Not even being tempted by the Satanic behavior of Mr Kane could change Adam. Adam hung on as long as he could before he cracked his armor and tried to strangle Mr Kane. But, when he realized what he was doing, he stopped. Adam's decent moral values shown through. He tried to get help for Mr Kane, but when Adam's pa and brothers arrived, it was too late for Mr Kane. Adam had tremendous strength, decent moral values, and patience. This story shows how we need to keep our Christian moral values no matter what we go through. Adam could have tried to find a way to kill Mr Kane, but his decent moral values kept him from doing that. Pernell Roberts and Lee Marvin were superb in this episode and it was very suspenseful. It was well written. I really cried at the end.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

@Joe Owens. Another way that you could tell that Mr Kane was a mad man full of greed was because he killed his own mule to keep Adam from leaving. That made me cry. 😥

Then Adam after walking for some miles, winds up with Lee Marvin in some insane self destructive jealous hysteria, taking a last stand toward a fake redemption in a jealous facade of a fake emotional tirade of self destruction, wanting to die. All the while Adam's family is searching at the precipice of where Adam is a slave, and Adam's attempt to save his own, and his nemesis life also saves his own, at this point, the tears began to flow from my eyes.

One of the Brothers are Down and Out and the whole family comes to there Rescue Love, Trust, Loyalty & Triumph - all of the traits that make a Great Movie Some scenes are a "Test of Faith" but the Cartwrights manage to prevail against all odds I'd like to think theres some biblical context within the episodes I've seen Very fulfilling!! The Show is a Classic!!!

Man that was a good one. Thanks for saying Lee Marvin's name I could never think of it

[@g.e.1432]

No, little Joe is not the best looking of the Cartwright boys, Adam is without a doubt.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

I agree.

[@luv-chanel2976]

Adam so attractive, lil Joe cute.

[@chrissnape9537]

That Lee Marvin is such a talent that he sure makes you want punch him out. A good actor

[@larrylane4802]

Great drama,smart writing

[@charlesvan13]

It should be a Cartwright family rule, never talk about the money on you in public, especially in a strange town.

[@timvest2192]

I think this episode was intended as a psychological thriller with a sadist for a villain. Instead of threating Adam’s life he attacked his very core, preying on his humanity and pushing Adam to protect this essential part of his being at the expense of his common sense and practicality. Here we cannot see the choices that are familiar to us in the character of Adam because he has become isolated by the harshness of circumstances and the cruelty of psychological and emotional blackmail. This become evident by the end, when he is pushing a dead body through the dessert almost as an act of redemption for sins he didn’t even commit. Sadists aim to destroy the mind and the soul of others as an act of revenge for whatever it is they believe has wronged them and refuse to heal in themselves. Ultimately they want to prove that every person can be pushed into hell because they won’t take themselves out of their own. They’re not about to listen or understand, because they’ve lost interest in growing. They talk and maneuver to entangle and, therefore, the ultimate challenge is never to bite their bait. Adam would have been better off by simply leaving instead of trying to reason with the guy building the web around him. This is the legitimate choice that eludes us over and over again when we fail to realize that a dangerous scenario is being weaved around us.

[@Rancho4Z]

Adam couldn't leave! Here was staring down the barrel of a gun or a rifle all the time. The one time he tries, in the middle of the night, he almost gets himself killed by Kain and after that attempt Kain keeps tying him up every night.....

[@JardoniJovonovich]

Adam is incredibly strong.....he crashed into and moved that boulder

[@thekrrib]

I saw that too LOL 😉

[@rosered103]

Yea I noticed that also.

[@dwhitman3092]

I didn't realize bronzer was such a thing in 60s television.

[@jesusagonzales9485]

After reflecting, one of the thrives was a fellow worker on the cattle drive who planned the robbery because Adam recognized him.

[@susanagavert656]

Espectacular actuación de Pernell Roberts .Uno de los episodios de Bonanza que me emocionan, cuando reconoce a su padre!

[@mynameisdave613]

Incredible acting from Pernell Roberts and Michael Landon in this one

[@lynettepalecek3141]

Lee Marvin did a superb job playing an insane man!

[@ruatarengsicolneyrengsi8924]

So far the most interesting episode for me. Unique plot.

[@idrishall6126]

Powerful episode, I cheered when Ben cheered,I cried when Adam cried, rough act to follow

[@BelaCurcio]

didn't they learn from the last episode not to discuss the money they're carrying in public places??

[@Boopbooppp]

ahahaha lol

[@joeanthony4459]

envy is a form of hatred. hatred is evil

[@stanmyler9037]

When I saw the name Lee Marvin appeared as the guest start, I said to myself "Oh I gotta see this one!". Lee has been one of my favorite "Old School" Hollywood heavies. Even when he plays a 'good guy' he can be psychotically mean, of course mostly to the bad guys! Honestly I haven't seen as many of his movies as it may have sounded at first. But I can remember him back in the 70s on Black and white TV when I was a kid. He certainly intimidates me back then.

[@DerrickDeitz]

This is my favorite episode

[@groovercleveland3674]

Adam got treated like a Black man in this one but at least he didn't die

[@misslucky5474]

Adam was ALWAYS the better man, even before him and the grey-haired dude met. That dude played himself.

[@aacaballero8681]

Thank you for all the Bonanza episodes and all the good movies and you have ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This is a great episode!

[@GrjngoWesternSeries]

Glad you like them!

[@maryg7405]

Thats WHY you ALWAYS CARRY A XTRA GUN HIDDEN.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

Jim West in "The Wild, Wild West" show always did.

[@user-pd7il3xz5j]

Not an episode for Children. Really intense.

[@warriorwoman91]

Lol I watched it many times as a kid

[@valjean9581]

Doing good to those who hate you can save their souls

[@lynettepalecek3141]

That's right. God's Holy Word the Bible says that we're suppose to love our enemies. God also says in His Holy Word the Bible that vengeance is His.

[@dicessdontbenosey438]

GREED IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL AND DEATH.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

Mr Kane's attitude when he thought that he could turn Adam into a killer made me think of the book "1984." But Adam refused to give in.

[@renatoherren4217]

Killing that piece of trash wouldn't have made Adam a murderer, just a garbage man.

[@gabrielmartinez-wi8bu]

I love Bonanza.Thanks! Los Angeles...
