I remember it. Richard Boone was the good guy in that TV series. Later on, he was the bad guy in one of my favorite westerns and that was Hombre with Paul Newman. I judge whether a movie is good or bad by whether I can remember lines from it. I remember Boone had a line where he said to Paul Newman "you've got some hard bark on you mister," as Newman's character descends a staircase to rescue the fair maiden and gets in a gunfight with Boone and his Mexican pistolero. Of course, Newman the hero, prevails in the gunfight, but is killed himself. As the pistolero is dying, he says, "Who was that hombre?" This was a tale by Elmore Leonard.
