DVD Reviews of The Deputy (1959-1961) - Starring Henry Fonda
DVD Review: The Deputy
Summary: 3 Stars
This was a short lived series but was well done. Henry Fonda was the draw for this series but I beleive that Allan Case carried the series because he was the constant character. Henry Fonda's character would come and go but the Deputy was always present in the story lines.DVD Review: The Deputy was a great late 50s-early 60s TV western, but...
Summary: 2 Stars
This set from Timeless Media is pretty poor...of the first 3 episodes, an apology for poor quality precedes 2...as well there are only 12 total episodes...pretty rich at over $30...too bad NBC Universal chose to put their name on this...I expect better from that brand...I would be cautious of Timeless Media products in the future...bottom line, you've really got to love The Deputy for this to be worthwhile...unfortuately for me, I do...DVD Review: Flawed Series
Summary: 2 Stars
You'd think a western tv series starring Henry Fonda would have to be good right? WRONG! Very disappointing. And who's bright idea was it to give a western series a jazz soundtrack. What a mess.DVD Review: As advertised
Summary: 3 Stars
After fifty years, it must be difficult to get the original material to put out a set like this, and Timeless is up-front about the quality of the shows, and no where did I see anything about 'complete' season. It is 12 episodes, as stated on the box (the wrong # of running minutes is pretty easy to figure out, if it is 12 half hour shows...must be a misprint!).
Sure there are a couple of shows that are pretty sub-par, but I'm just glad to have The Deputy on DVD, since it never runs in my area, and I haven't seen it since the sixties.
I love Henry Fonda, and even though the show is uneven, and isn't the best western of the period, it stands up as a good example of early TV westerns.
By the way, check out the other titles Timeless puts out, like Laredo, Laramie and Wagon Train. And another great tv show, M-Squad, with Lee Marvin, the cop show that set the standard for cop shows.
DVD Review: Not as good as I remember...
Summary: 1 Stars
Sadly, I must agree with the majority of reviewers. This series does not translate well. It lacks focus in its directing, tension in its writing and the picture quality is rather poor. Too bad, as it is from 1959. Fonda must have indeed needed the money and it was, as was written, "an easy gig" for him. Nice performance by Allen Case, who sadly never did much more on screen, but did have his moments on(off?) Broadway and unfortunately died in his fifties of a heart-attack. And Robert Redford has a nice guest spot in one episode, but still it is not worth the asking price. Incidentally, I bought my set for $19.99 from a local retailer. So $31.99 is definitely out of line!
How about a set of Bat Masterson?! And this time re-master it!!!
