Have Gun Will Travel Old Time Radio Program ½Have Gun Will Travel Before there was James Bond, there was Paladin
Have Gun Will Travel stands out as a radio program for two reasons: one, it is a very good western show, and two, it is one of very few programs to go from television to radio. The show ran from 1958 to 1960, the television program went from 1955-1975. The main character is Paladin, a gentleman gunfighter who played by his own rules. A former West Point graduate, he dressed in semi-formal wear, ate gourmet food, attended opera, and could come up with a parallel for his current predicament from ancient roman battles at the drop of a Stetson, but don’t let his appearance fool you, he was a hell of a gun fighter. Paladin made his headquarters in the San Francisco Carlton Hotel. The rest of the cast included Heyboy the Oriental doorman of the hotel and Heyboy’s girlfriend, Miss Wong. There was no romantic counterpart for Paladin, that’s why he was a loner. The television show starred Richard Boone who really made a mark with the public with his portrayal of Paladin. John Dehner took the role on the radio, he put a slightly different take on the character, not as bold and gruff, but just as deadly. |
