Rating: - Worth the purchase price just to see Clu Gulager again
This is another marvelous set of western shows (also available, "Restless Gun," "Cimarron City," "Laredo," and "Riverboat") issued by Timeless Media Group. "Tall Man" features the always watchable Clu Gulager as "Billy the Kid" and Barry Sullivan as "Sheriff Pat Garrett." While the producers of the series took liberties addressing the relationship between the long-time friends/adversaries, actors Gulager and Sullivan have terrific chemistry on the screen in this 15-episode set. The series would have probably run longer than two seasons, except for two or three reasons. First, is the almost bizarre background music composed and played by Juan Esquival -- really out of place (re: "Shotgun Slade") for a western. Second is the troubling lack of solid guest stars. In this set, very, very few recognizable actors can be found (in comparison -- Morgan Woodward, James Coburn, Jack Elam, and scores of others guest star in "Restless Gun") in supporting roles. I'm also scratching my head because only 1 episode from season one is included in this set. (Could this mean that NBC/Universal did not protect the 16mm stock of season 1?) Picture quality is a solid 8; the audio is quite good. It would have been great if TMG would have interviewed Gulager for the set (he is still very much alive and running an actors studio in Los Angeles).
