The Virginian Vault: “Another’s Footsteps”
Season Two, Episode Twenty-Four Nerdy confession alert. We’ve finally gotten to what is probably my favorite “type” of The Virginian episode types, the mooney James Drury romantic narratives. As we get to season two, episode 24, "Another's Footsteps", we’ve finally found another one. Will it live up to the standards set in "The Mountain and the Sun"? Well, read on! …

Embarrassing classic tv revelation incoming. I’ve been watching Laramie this morning for the first time and wondering why Robert Crawford Jr. is reminding me so much of Johnny Crawford from The Rifleman.

They’re brothers.

I am watching so much of Mariette Hartley’s work by pure coincidence this year.

If Letterboxd tracked tv, I bet she’d be right on William Smith’s heels for my most viewed in 2025.

Now watching McCloud (S5e7)

The voices of Rocky and Bullwinkle — June Foray #BOTD and Bill Scott.

‘We received the script when we arrived at the studio...We’d read it once and then record,” Foray said. “We never ad-libbed, ever! Because they were so brilliantly written.” #Cartoons

Shudder just added BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) to a stellar collection of 200+ pre-2000 horror titles, stretching all the way back to the silent era.

No ads is a big plus too. #FilmSky #Halloween

I always feel a little ashamed when a cinema legend passes & I haven’t seen nearly enough of their films but it feels doubly so with Robert Redford.

As such I’d like to hear folks’ underappreciated Redford recommendations. I’ve seen a lot of the big ones but I’d like to catch up on some unsung gems

A first-rate example of Hollywood’s geography-stitching location shooting. Cliffside dialogue shot in CO and jump (with stunt doubles) shot at the Fox Movie Ranch (now Malibu Creek State Park)

In our next installment of “That Is Quite The Headline”.

My deep dive into women behind the camera in classic westerns continues.

What Robert Redford contributed to American films via Sundance is genuinely immeasurable. He was also an extraordinarily talented director--Ordinary People and Quiz Show are two of the best American studio movies of their eras--and an actor who somehow wore his incredible charisma almost shyly. RIP.

One of my most recent (and favorite) classic TV Leo moments. Not realizing a baby Robert Redford was in an episode of The Virginian I was watching before it clicked in my brain instantaneously.
The Leo pointing meme. Robert Redford sits with Roberta Shore. They wear western clothes.

Man, Robert Redford. RIP. A legend. And someone who's come up several times in my Rod Serling bio research. He starred in the very last episode of Playhouse 90, "In the Presence of Mine Enemies," and played Death in a beautiful Twilight Zone episode, "Nothing in the Dark."

I’m trying to think of my Robert Redford awakening. I remember seeing The Horse Whisperer in theaters. I was 11 or 12, but even then I knew he was special. He’s one of those actors who has always been in my conscience. It’s hard to put words behind a career like that. RIP.

I might be stretching the “different” genres a bit, but I’m running with it.

Stumbled onto Forrest Tucker in Gunsmoke.

How is this not an F-Troop crossover?

(She asks having watched 2 minutes of the episode so far, not knowing context).
Forrest Tucker pours a drink for Amanda Blake as they stand behind a bar.

Wagon Train writer Jean Holloway posed in an interesting shot with series actor Robert Horton.

I’ve been diving into research on Holloway’s work and am increasingly intrigued.
