Long before Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Robert Redford was honing his acting skills in some of the best TV Westerns of the early 1960’s. Often playing against his later good guy image, these 5 examples of his work on the small screen gave Redford a chance to portray a darker side. In The Last Gunfight (The Deputy), he plays a young gunslinger; in The Grudge (Whispering Smith), a young man bent on revenge. In The Evil that Men Do (The Virginian), Redford plays the part of an embittered young ex-con, and in two appearances on Tate, he plays a man in a bitter struggle with his older brother over the hand of a lady (Comanche Scalps), and a dead man walking, gunned down by Tate himself (The Bounty Hunter).

A must for Redford fans, this collection of his five appearances on TV Western Classics showcases a young Robert Redford in challenging roles that prepared him for his later super-stardom, playing alongside some of the biggest names in Western TV history!
