Correction to the plot summary(this contains a minor spoiler but is necessary to correct the plot summary which is a little wrong): Bart repays a debt to the sheriff that saved his life by taking a job as a dealer in one of the two local saloons and attempting to stop the scheme of the other saloon owner and his confederate [you'll have to watch it to see who that is] to kill his rival (the saloon keeper for whom Bart is working) for a girl's affections. více |

| 31. | | The Devil's Necklace: Part 1 | | These episodes The Devil's Necklace: Parts 1 and 2 contain more double dealing than any of the Maverick episodes I have seen, perhaps more than in a season of episodes. This latter Bart Maverick (Jack Kelly) piece is well directed by Paul Landres and well acted all around. The only rally weak casting is Sharon Hugueny as Indian girl Tawny, Caucasian features and all--but this was 1961 so perhaps that was to be expected. For a 17 year old, she did do a credible acting job, though her main lines "me friend" got repeated a little too much. Needless to say she does not double-deal Bart nor he her! Worth watching and that is what you will have to do to see what happens in more detail. více |
