Buckskin is yet another western where A.C.
If copies exist, It would be great to have them on again, or around for viewing. Todays television doesn't have enough roll models, with morals, manners, and ethics.
A.C.
This show was one of the rarest of rarities - a summer replacement series that proved so popular it was picked up the following year to replace one of the fall season's first casualties, with new episodes being filmed. It actually had an extremely long run, despite the fact that only 39 episodes (ordinarily a single season) were shot, because it could be played either as an evening western or as a kiddie show on Saturday morning.
Not all bad for a late (1968) version of a familiar theme, with an interesting cast - not least the normally aggressive Leo Gordon playing one of the world's losers (though he does toughen up later on).The only real fault was the way that several characters' attitudes changed rather too quickly from being antagonistic towards the marshal to supporting him.
Barry Sullivan of "Forty Guns" plays a buckskin clad lawman with a half-breed Indian son in director Michael Moore's hackneyed frontier western "Buckskin" who must clean up the town of Gloryhole, Montana. Meanwhile, Wendell Corey is the city slicker who owns this dusty little town and has built a dam to dry up the sodbusters and drive them away.
Buckskin (1968) ** (out of 4) A strong cast keeps this by-the-numbers Western from falling completely off the track. Marshall Chaddock (Barry Sullivan) arrives in a small Montana town that has the land owners moving because of a crooked gambler named Marlowe (Wendell Corey).
There's only one thing that distinguishes this A.C.
The completion of "Buckskin" in Dec 1967 marked the end of the trail for Paramount producer A.C.
