A few words on Lawman; the TV-series, starring John Russell and Pete Brown… underdeveloped, shallow, predictably plotted, and talky. But a fantastic showcase for Russell, who’s easily among the top ‘western’ faces lists. High cheekbones, steely glare, SW ruggedness… I’m not sure why he didn’t do a whole lot of movies, because he was more visually charismatic than alotta guys who did.
The series was a spinoff from one the Warner Brothers TV-westerns, where his Marshall Dan Troop-character was a recurring one. Russell, as a stand-alone, just couldn’t do anything with the character. He needed a dramatically-alluring gimmick or something.
