Atypical gunman
17 May 2013 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Herb Jeffries, forever etched in western movie history as the first black singing cowboy, plays notorious gunslinger Frank Hammel in this smart, subtle episode. Frank is not the typical, moody gun hawk viewers expect. He's friendly and courteous, never making an aggressive move or hostile gesture. Yet he's feared, and shunned. A mother forbids her child to accept candy from him. A saloon patron demands that the bartender refuse service to him. When a character finally cuts loose with "we don't want his kind in this town," it becomes apparent that an undercurrent is flowing beneath the story's surface that the writer didn't need to clarify.
