Colt .45 – The Complete Series 04/16/24

Swing back with us to 1958, when all three TV networks were crammed with westerns, each of which needed a gimmick. Wayde Preston IS Chris Colt, a secret agent who takes on various bad guys every week, pretending to be an ordinary traveling gun salesman. The three seasons are jammed with favorite actors and actresses — wanna see Charles Bronson and Lee Van Cleef handling workaday villain chores?  With its emphasis on gunplay, the show now looks like a template for Tarantino’s Rick Dalton — you know, before Rick duked it out with Sexy Sadie and Tex Watson. The WAC’s restoration work couldn’t be bettered. On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
