Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
Hannibal Heyes (Pete Duel) og 'Kid' Curry (Ben Murphy) beslutter sig for at lægge deres kriminelle fortid bag sig, da de opdager, at guvernøren lover amnesti. Betingelsen er dog, at de holder sig på måtten i et helt år, før de kan opnå amnesti. Derfor skifter de navn til Joshua Smith og Thaddeus Jones i et forsøg på at lægge fortiden bag sig, men lovens lange arm - som ikke kender til den hemmelige aftale - er lige i hælene på dem. Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
This warm, comedic western appeared on televisions a year after Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was a surprise blockbuster. Both light-hearted Westerns follow two outlaws who have won the hearts of the public. In TV bandit version, it's because "they never killed anyone" while being ever-so-charming as they steal from banks and trains. In the pilot episode (which aired as a TV movie in January 1971, followed two weeks later by the series), the premise is set: Hannibal Heyes (Pete Duel) and 'Kid' Curry (Ben Johnson) want to go straight when they discover the governor is offering amnesty, a historical fact. However, it's stipulated they need to go "straight" for a year before amnesty will be given. So they rename themselves Joshua Smith and Thaddeus Jones as they attempt to go straight, but lawmen--unknown of the secret deal--are on their heels. Usually the pair goes out of the way to stop a crime from other bandits. A good double-cross is usually thrown in too. Heyes/Smith is the brainier one with an eye for the ladies. Curry/Jones is more brawny (a relative term), possessing the proverbial "fastest gun in the west." |
