Have Gun, Will Travel κριτικές

GUNMAN WHO PLAYS GOD Richard Boone stars as Palladin, the gunman with a card saying Have Gun, Will Travel. In the days when this was made, he was seen as a forward thinking liberal gunman, even into the sixties and seventies, and especially today. It was like most TV series in that all the corrupt people were white males, and especially so in this one. A lot of people today dont realize this, but this was how nearly every Western was in the fifties, even on TV. The problem with Palladin was that he never minded his own business, even when he made it his business. He always wanted to play God. In the show, hes always right, but his philosophy led too much to the modern day scapegoating.

Have Gun, Will Travel offers, in the character of Paladin, a protagonist who was atypical amongst the lineup of 1950s western drama heroes. He was the erudite gunslinger, the gentleman-bounty hunter, the fixer of situations gone bad and a constrained vigilante. Contrary to what has been written in another review, Paladin didnt seek to play god; however, his line of work may have required that he play any of the roles of judge, jury and executioner, depending on the situation. While not pretending to the status of god, Paladin could quote with ease passages from the King James Bible or Shakespeare, prior to dispatching the villain at hand. It would also be impossible for Paladin to engage in extensive moralizing, as the show made no pretenses about Paladins choice to be a gun-for-hire to support his lavish lifestyle and other predilections. Contrary to what has been written in another review, villains were not limited to corrupt white men, and the series made no off-putting political statements of that ilk. Here, the reader should be reminded that 1950s westerns did feature villainous white men, as well as armed conflict with Indians, Mexican banditos and Comancheros. These were the bread and butter of TV western stories but were not political statements in themselves. Paladin was a considerable thinker, but this is not synonymous with liberal, as has been claimed in another review. Many shows from the bygone era of 1950s westerns have aged out of appeal. Have Gun, Will Travel hangs on to its viewing enjoyment, primarily through the complex character and commanding presence of Paladin (Richard Boone). All fictional shows require some suspension of disbelief to achieve immersion in the story; for 1950s westerns, this is less of a stretch than for the litany of modern series pertaining to witches, zombies, vampires and CSI-type police dramas. I highly recommend this series, which is on my short list of must-see 1950s western shows.
