Christian Nyby (The Thing) directed this thoughtful, eloquent, and superbly acted Rawhide episode. Michael Ansara guest stars as Joseph, a Comanche who a short-handed Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) hires for the cattle drive. Racial tensions within the camp ("Once a Comanche, always a Comanche") are heightened with the arrival of Colonel Macklin (James Whitmore), who led a massacre of the Comanche and is in defiance of a recently signed treaty. The paranoid and increasingly unstable Macklin is gunning for Chief Iron Bull, who he has never seen but is convinced that he "is out to get me." Trail boss Gil Favor (Eric Fleming) warns Macklin that "our business is driving cattle, not fighting Indians." But Macklin's taunts ("Maybe Chief Iron Bull is hiding with the women," he challenges tribal elders) and the tragic shooting of an Indian boy sets the stage for a showdown, unless Gil turns over to the Comanche "a gift": Macklin. Whitmore gives an Emmy-worthy performance. His climactic recounting of the massacre he led is chilling. Another standout is veteran character Richard X. Slattery as the camp's most venal racist. --Donald Liebenson

This review is from: Rawhide: Incident of Iron Bull [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Not putting Rawhide on DVD is such a loss of great entertainment. Rawhide was one of the longest runnnig and loved western series ever made! When Rawhide was originally shown on Friday nights in the 50s and the 60s it had a good number of devoted fans. (It even made it into the top ten list of most popular television shows). Abroad, however it enjoyed a fanatical level of viewership, especially in Japan! Now why don't they put this on DVD! DVD please!
Ok, as for this episode, Iron Bull, it's a good episode. The 'Iron Bull' in the title refers to the legend of an Indian named 'Iron Bull'.In this episode a military man of the time has it out for 'Iron Bull', and Iron Bull's warriors have it out for the miliatary man, with Mr. Favor in the middle! It's hard to say too much about the episode because it's better to watch the episode and let it unfold itself.
