Broken Wing (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

So here we go with another episode from "Cimarron Strip" which now tends to be broken up and shown as movie shorts here in the UK. And "Broken Wing" comes early on in the first series as Jim Crown has not been Marshal for lon...

Journey to a Hanging (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

I tell you what, if I have been alive in 1967 and of an age to be a fan of TV westerns I might have ended up a little confused by "Cimarron Strip" and episode 1 "Journey to a Hanging" as it just tosses us into a western town ...

The Legend of Jud Starr (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie      

If you go looking for information on "The Legend of Jud Starr" chances are you won't find much as it was in fact part of "Cimarron Strip" a 23 part series of westerns which I believe were mainly stand alone storylines which i...

The Battleground (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

So to state the facts quickly; "The Battleground" is actually episode four of "Cimarron Strip" the 60s series which starred Stuart Whitman as lawman Marshal Jim Crown. Now usually I say that these episodes work as stand alone...

The Hunted (1967)

74 mins     TV Movie, Western      

So as I have mentioned before, the 1960s series "Cimarron Strip" is often split up and shown as stand alone movies here in the UK. And like many old TV series they work remarkably well as individual movies as whilst there wer...

The Battle of Bloody Stones (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

For those who don't know "The Battle of Bloody Stones" was part of "Cimarron Strip" a western TV series which ran for 23 episodes during 1967 and 1968. Nowadays these episodes frequently get shown as individual movies here in...

The Roarer (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

It's interesting when considering "The Roarer", which was originally episode 8 of "Cimarron Strip", as whilst the synopsis tells what happens it doesn't really tell you what it is about. So on one hand there is the obvious st...

Till the End of Night (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

"Till the End of Night" is a curious episode of "Cimarron Strip" as it was only episode 10 of the series and yet it felt comfortable enough to dispense with the central character of Jim Crown for what feels like most of the m...

The Beast That Walks Like a Man (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

So to give you the facts "The Beast That Walks Like a Man" is episode 11 of 60s western series "Cimarron Strip" which featured Stuart Whitman as Marshall Jim Crown alongside regulars Percy Herbert, Randy Boone and Jill Townse...

Nobody (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

Episode 12 of "Cimarron Strip", the half way mark although considering the episodes were not produced in the order they were shown makes that misleading with "Nobody" actually being the 15th episode produced. Anyway "Nobody" ...

The Last Wolf (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

Don't get me wrong as I enjoyed "The Last Wolf" but by episode 13 of "Cimarron Strip" the series limits were starting to show. What I mean is on one hand we have this enjoyable storyline which sees the rough and ready Sam Gal...

The Deputy (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

I've lost track of the number of westerns I have watched but some where in my mind I have a faint memory of watching one involving a one armed convict masquerading as a lawman to get revenge on those who betrayed him. Maybe I...

Whitey (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

They made a mistake in naming episode seven of Cimarron Strip after the character Whitey, oh it is suitable but then this episode is very much about Crown's cunning to play people to get what he wants. He makes Whitey think a...

The Search (1967)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

Joseph Cotten quite often played forgettable characters, similar sorts of people and he played them so well, but you won't forget his performance in "The Search", episode 9 of "Cimarron Strip", because he plays doctor Nathan ...

The Judgement (1968)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

So for those who aren't aware "The Judgement" is actually episode 15 of the 1960s western series "Cimarron Strip" which starred Stuart Whitman as Marshal Jim Crown who controlled things in Cimarron. But these episodes which c...

Fool's Gold (1968)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

Considering episodes of "Cimarron Strip" only lasted 75 minutes, without adverts, when you watch episode 16 "Fool's Gold" it feels like it takes an age to get to what is the actual story. We get a whole lot of build up as the...

Heller (1968)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

Did you know that Morgan Woodward appeared in three episodes of "Cimarron Strip", playing three different characters? Not exactly an amazing fact as over the years many an actor has appeared in a series playing different char...

The Sound of a Drum (1968)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

I am pretty sure that "The Sound of a Drum" is the first episode of "Cimarron Strip" which has really struggled to get my attention and that disappoints me as up until now the episodes I have watched as stand alone TV movies ...

Big Jessie (1968)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

"Big Jessie" is really episode 20 of the 60s western series "Cimarron Strip" but as I have mentioned before, due to their stand alone nature they are now often shown as individual movies, As such at 75 minutes, 90 with advert...

The Blue Moon Train (1968)

75 mins     TV Movie, Western      

There were 23 episodes of "Cimarron Strip" made and "The Blue Moon Train" was episode 21 although it was the 10th one produced. The strange thing it doesn't feel like that as it feels like it might have been produced towards ...
