"The Day of Reckoning"
gattonero97523 May 2012
Warning: Spoilers
In this episode Bronson plays 'Harge Talbot', a man with a gang of rustlers who is about to have his 1st child yet is driven equally bent on revenge on The Virginian who he believes is the only man responsible for Talbot's little brother "Jamie's" death on a botched bank-robbery on which The Virginian was suppose to be on but declined at the last minute realizing what the gang was going to do. He wanted no part of that.

A very simple story line but still exciting nonetheless. Bronson as the leader of this gang of desperado's is well cast. As is the lovely Miriam Colon as his wife,'Eva', She plays the role very low key who in a sense acts as Bronson's conscience.

As 'Arnie',one of the gang, Charles Grodin just oozes badness. Acting like snake that his character is. I had always knew Grodin could play a real bad or mean guy and this role just confirms it.

The late character actor Ross Hagen plays another member of the gang named 'Bassett',and the late great Kenneth Tobey has a bit as the sheriff not being able to do much. Rounding out the cast are 'Ironside's' Don Mitchell and Abbott & Costello regular , Dick Foran.

A sworn enemy
bkoganbing16 February 2020
This episode of The Virginian has The Virginian with John Granger and Elizabeth Granger in a Texas border town when he's recognized by Charles Bronson an old friend now a sworn enemy.

Bronson is an outlaw who holds up across the border and does his outlaw thing in the USA. Way back when he thinks James Drury dimed him out when he was going to pull a bank job. The law was waiting and Bronson's kid brother was killed.

Failing to get Drury, the gang kidnaps Sara Lane and hold her waiting for Drury. They get him when he crosses the border trying to come to her rescue.

After that Drury has to do some fast talking to keep both of them alive.

Nice season opener. Look for Dick Foran as the man Charles Bickford has come to do business with and Kenneth Tobey as the American sheriff in substantial roles.
