The Silent Gun (1969)

[@bajuszpal172]

A real treat, mind over guns! A rare thing to see in Westerns. Many thanks and all the best. Paul.68, retired teacher and fan of Westerns in which justice prevails.

[@tedwelsh8362]

What a film! Artistically filmed with dialogue that was beautifully conceived and believable. The music was superb and never got in the way of the drama. 5 stars for the performance of the cast. I could have wished that it had become a series, but...such was not to be. Encore!

[@joaob.o.9828]

A beautiful story, with changes in concepts and objectives, without a doubt a great film!

[@ShellyCash]

I didn't anticipate it to happen, but that was a fantastic movie. Gratitude for the movie. also some talented actors.

[@mr.blackhawk142]

Yup! Pernell Roberts plays "Ben Dover" well!

[@johnklement5363]

didn't expect too much of this but it turned out to be a magnificent film. Thanks Chris !!!

[@dougmoore5252]

That was an outstanding show. My goodness he was a fine actor.

[@robertcarver4295]

Rare to see an actor who can actually ride a horse. Always tell when the horse is trotting. Lloyd was an excellent rider, and one of the best actors of the era.

Best commercials I've ever seen! Very clean movie, comparatively, especially for 1969!

LLoyd Bridges, father of Jeff who loved him and always talked very highly of him.

[@RobSheahan-qr2wv]

I worked at a full service gas station in 1979 in Belair, next to Beverly Hills. Big stars came in often. Lloyd Bridges, was the absolute nicest man. Very fit, extremely personable and chatty, so very down to earth and would talk to you about his latest projects! The real deal. Sam Elliott, he is another good guy!

My dad was the Director for this movie. I was 14 at the time.

[@scvandy3129]

"Hi, Dennis. Well, 1) how proud you must feel to be Michael Caffey's son and 2) what a great credit on his credits' sheet is 'The Silent Gun.' Also, it airing the very first season of the iconic "ABC Movie of the Week." He handles gun fights, stand-offs / showdowns, poker games, scenic rides, man-woman, cattle drive scenes all capably well. "Those magnificent locations -- most notably, at the very end -- that long, 'love story,' 'happy ending' wagon ride with Lloyd and Susan going through miles of gorgeous southern California scenery -- were surely familiar to him from his "Combat!" episodes -- Thousand Oaks, Newberry Park, Agoura [and over the decades, nearly all developed]. The direct, overhead shadows lead us to discern this was filmed in the summer of 1968. Guessing you'd be out of school, how many days did you visit the set and what did you observe? "If, by any chance, you have your dad's work files how WONDERFUL it would be for you to look for and share vital information. Such as, telling the YouyTube Universe's 'The Silent Gun' page the beginning and concluding dates filmed, days exterior / days interior; the west San Fernando Valley, etc. specific locations. IMO Paramount's western streets were dressed favorably and realistically for "The Silent Gun." {ed. - yeah, I'm quite the western fan!] The full grown trees are a big help. IMO it looked better in this TV movie than it did on "Bonanza" episodes where it 'stands in' for Virginia City. . . He did alright casting the little blonde girl Lloyd nearly blew away when she went looking for her precious penny (which I'm guessing she's so desperate for because she wants to put it in the church offering plate). Did he think Paramount TV was a good employer? . . . Did saloon girl Barbara Rhodes impress you -- at 14 -- as having an incredibly voluptuous figure to accompany her pretty face and nice smile? She certainly looked that way amassing all those credits while a contract player at Universal in the mid - late '60s. . . . Susan Howard was no slouch either, in those tan, ultra-tight corduroy pants. But, personally, I didn't care for that wig. She's pretty and it wasn't flattering to her. "Did you and all your family accompany your dad to the cast and crew screening and / or the wrap party? Who were you especially interested to see, whether actors or crew?" Thanks, Dennis! This will be great to know -- after half a century of 'wondering.'"

You're amazing getting all these old ABC Movie of the Week flicks. At this point, they're pretty much all online. The one that I'd like to see most which isn't up is the 1969 comedy Three's a Crowd, starring Larry Hagman. Seems like it would be a typically frothy MOTW comedy, and I actually enjoy those.

As highly as Pernell Roberts thought of himself, he just never made it to the best of the best actors.

I guess I'm getting old, and technology has outpaced me. The caption came to place commercial here, and I didn't know how. Any show with a horse in it is a good show, and I saw many a fine horse in this film.

[@tonyhelton2788]

That's funny. I feel the same way. I love westerns and I especially have a great love for horses. I enjoy the horses as much as I do the actors and actresses. I often think I would have been one hell of a gunfighter. Although I would have carried as many six shooters as I could carry and I sure as hell wouldn't just leaving on the dead bodies or laying around the prairie. I'd scarfed up as many as I could get my hands on and I sure as hell wouldn't go anywhere without plenty of ammo. Just kills me when there is a big gun battle and the victors just ride away and leave a bunch of Colt pistols and Winchesters just laying around. Who does that. Also, throwing away a perfectly good canteen when it's out of water is so damned ridiculous it pisses me off. What the hell do they think they'll put the water in at the next water hole or stream. Just total nonsense. I've only seen one or two westerns where people behaved like they had some sense.....i.e. scarfed up as much as they could carry. Yelp, think I would of made one hell of a Huckleberry gun toten dude.

First time seeing parnell play the bad guy

[@Thompson-xp1mk]

I remember that the actor as Sam was as the eldest son in TV Show Bonanza in my childhood . And what became of him and her?

[@marco-dn7kd]

Pernell Roberts 1928-2010 He left Bonanza as he was finding it not adultes enough. He did have a career before and after. Just on Western TV shows, in addition to Bonanza, he appeared in episodes of Gunsmoke, The Virginian, The Rifleman, The Wild Wild West, The Big Valley, Have Gun Will Travel, The Young Riders, Alias Smith and Jones, The Quest, Tombstone Territory, Lancer, Lawman, Sugarfoot, Bronco, Zane Grey Theatre, Trackdown, Cimarron City and Buckskin. But his best role is probably in Budd Boetticher's Ride Lonesome beside of Randolph Scott, Lee Van Cleef and a newcomer, James Coburn (what a cast!) a truly magnificent western far above The Silent Gun

Pernell Roberts left Bonanza because it wasn't "sophisticated" enough for his acting talents. Four years later he's featured in this made-for-TV 'oater'. Methinks Roberts thought he'd become a megastar going solo....and fell on his face.

[@williamsaganov9594]

Pernell Roberts fell on his face? What a ludicrous comment. After Bonanza, he did some excellent stage work , incl. 'Cookoo's Nest'. He did film, tv movies, and countless guest appearances. Oh, he also played the title character in TRAPPER JOHN M.D., which ran 7 years. Me thinks you fell on your face with your lack of film knowledge.

Where did I say P. Roberts was a megastar? YOU MADE THAT INANE PERCEPTION. How do you know what he thought? YOU said he fell on his face. I say he did anything but that. An actor who had success on stage, film and t.v. was a successful actor. What are your standards? He left a type-casting role to branch out, as any true actor will.
