Fondly Remembered by Baby Boomer Fans
13 April 2010 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This is not exactly a great episode, but it is one - for whatever reasons - which seems to linger in the memory of many who saw it as youngsters in the sixties.

Our Nick is bitten by a rabid wolf and seeks peace and love during his 'last days'....

Nancy Olson is wonderful as the widow whose little boy - played by (Opie Taylor!) Ronnie Howard - gets attached to Nick as he has no father figure.

A showcase for Peter Breck and a fairly satisfying show with the expected happy ending (for the most part).

Watch it for yourselves!
