The Big Valley: Night in a Small Town (1967)
Seems Like a Remake of Have Gun Will Travel episode of 5 years earlier
I watched a 1962 Have Gun Will Travel Episode called "Marshal of Sweetwater" recently and was so surprised that this Big Valley 1967 Episode "Night in a Small town" had basically the same storyline from start to finish. Both had lawman but one was a Marshal (Have Gun) and one was a Sheriff (Big Valley). Even the lawman's name was the same "Tom" in both shows. The "come-on" scene between the lawman and the girl in one was the hotel room while the other was the front door to the saloon, but both had the Star of each of the shows (Palidin from Have Gun and Heath from Big Valley) who was the Friend of the lawman inside the door and heard the scene and then was discovered. The girl in both tried to pacify the lawman and prevent any killing but of course there was still the lawman and old friend confrontation with the friend eventually killing the Lawman. I looked at the writers and all seem different. This is very strange to me and hard to believe it would be a coincidence.
The Christmas List (1997)
Excellent
What a fun and delightful movie... Just wish it was available on DVD. Family Fun... Already a Christmas Classic. Mimi is once again at her best. There is great emotional displays from Happy, sad, love, concern, twists and turns. It is creative and a joy to watch over and over. The characters are normal, wacky and arrogant.... a wide variance.
The plot is smooth and fine for any age in my opinion.
Humor, drama and a love story. This Movie seems to have increased in showing frequency since it first aired. I continue to check DVD sources to see if it is released. Will buy when it is as I can't say enough about the film.
