REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 17-Oct-2005)

I totally enjoyed this movie as a series on TV. My family and I would always look forward to the next episode. The acting was excellent. Of course, I have always liked James Arness. Other seasoned actors were a joy to watch. A was especially interested in seeing Josh Gallegos, who played the part of an indian called Stonehand. He quite a lot of exposure with James Arness. He is a friend of my brothers. I am sorry to say that I hadn't seen him in many parts since. I know that he was on Fantasy Island at one time. I think I had heard that he became a teacher. Anyway, I thought the movie was very entertaining.
