A little learning
bkoganbing13 May 2020
Guest Stars dominate this Virginian story. Albert Salmi plays a trail hand who is completely illiterate and walks into Susan Oliver's schoolhouse and wants to learn to read.

She's willing to teach him, but complicating matters is the arrival of Bruce Dern her husband lately released from prison. He's the jealous type.

Salmi is quite the figure of ridicule among the other kids and some adults in Medicine Bow. Still he persists with his dream.

I've known at least one illiterate person in my life and it's a prison as strong as Alcatraz/. Salmi does a fine job with a strong portrayal of illiteracy.
