No Clint Eastwood in this classic episode of Rawhide, but special guest star Miss Barbara Stanwyck as Nora will make your day. In "The Captain's Wife," Lady Macbeth has nothing on Nora, who is dissatisfied with her life on a remote frontier outpost. When comancheros terrorize the region, she sees their capture as "the way back to Washington," whispering in her husband's ear, "It's boldness that makes heroes." Interfering with her plans is herd boss Gil Favor (series star Eric Fleming), who arrives at the fort for supplies. Nora has already defied regulations and risked lives and aided her husband's court martial by dispatching "every able-bodied man" to join her husband on patrol. That leaves "two women, four civilians, one of them a boy, and two troopers from sick bay" to fend off an anticipated raiding party. Tay Garnett (The Postman Always Rings Twice) directed. --Donald Liebenson

5.0 out of 5 stars Flat out great entertainment, August 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rawhide: The Captain's Wife [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In this one, the crew come across an abondoned fort, and with wild 'Camancheros' running loose in the territory, Mr. Favor is in a tight spot! Tense scenes and bold interactions mark this episode as a personal favorite. A great series for guys of all ages. an additional note:This is made in black and white, but the color isn't what's important, it's the stories and the characters that are important! 'Rawhide has character interaction not seen today.' Eric Fleming is amazing in this series. There hasn't been a show in the past thirty years that can hold a candle to Rawhide.
