Trivia

In early production of the series, Paladin's trail clothes were a rich midnight blue. This nicely complimented Richard Boone's blue eyes. They read as black on the black and white film of the day. There was a shirt redesign from a buttoned front to a V-neck and the colours of both changed to black around that time. Whenever Paladin's clothes were referred to in dialogue, he was always called 'the man in black,' whether he dressed in blue or black. See more »

Quotes

Paladin: I don't think you got a very good look at this gun while you had it. The balance is perfect. This trigger responds to a pressure of one ounce. If you look carefully in the barrel you'll see the lines of the rifling. It's a rarity in a hand weapon. This gun was handcrafted to my specifications and I rarely draw it unless I mean to use it. Would you care for a demonstration?
