THE GUNS OF WILL SONNETT - THE COMPLETE SEASONS 1 & 2 - 6 DVD SET! The Guns of Will Sonnett follows the exploits of Will Sonnett, a retired army scout and his grandson Jeff, as they journey through the west in search of the boy's father, James. James abandoned his family twenty years before to become a renowned gunfighter. As Will and Jeff ride the high plains in hopes of finding and redeeming James, they often become involved with people who have been touched by the guns of James Sonnett. Although Will and Jeff come close, it is difficult to find James, who does not want to be found and who is always on the move. Starring the legendary actor Walter Brennan as Will Sonnett and Dack Rambo as Jeff, The Guns of Will Sonnett aired for only two seasons. With fast paced, well-writtten stories and high production values, The Guns of Will Sonnett was one of the most underrated western television shows of all time. The show featured some of the best supporting actors of the day with wonderful performances from seasoned character actors Harry Dean Stanton, Claude Akins and Strother Martin. Playing opposite Walter Brennan and the rest of the fine cast also allowed young actors to gain experience. Charles Grodin, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson were just a few of the future stars who performed on The Guns of Will Sonnett. Sit back and relive the Old West of cow towns, saloons, high prairie and sagebrush, as Will and Jeff battle both gunslingers and the law in their quest to reunite their family.
This series tells the story of a son and his grandfather who roam the west in search of the son's father who left years ago and who was once a sheriff but could now be working on the other side of the law as most know him as gunfighter and killer. Mistaken identity or framed we have to follow the trail each week to find out the truth. Walter Brennan plays the grandfather and Dack Rambo plays his grandson. Jason Evers plays Jim Sonnet the man they are in search of who appears periodically throughout the series.Not a lot of guest stars here.Claude Akins [ Movin On ]Cloris Leachman [ Raising Hope ]James Best [ The Dukes of Hazzard ]Kevin McCathy [ Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1956 ]Paul Brinegar [ Rawhide ]This show is exceptionally good. Produced by Danny Thomas and Aaron Spelling. This was a pretty intense series for Mr Spelling as we are used to his lighter fare like "Charlie's Angels".It's like a good book. You can't put it down.Once you have read one chapter you can't wait to read the next. It's plot is very similar to "The Fugitive" and I loved that series. There is plenty of action here for all western fans. Do they find him alive in the end or is he never found? The answer lies in the last bonus feature. An episode I think that was never aired in it's original run and that's why it's listed as a bonus.Not having seen this show when it first appeared I feel I have to mention that it looks to have been edited from 25 minutes down to 21 minutes.If it has that's a pity. Then I would have to give it 4 stars instead of 5. But I highly recommend this series.Bonus features a biography of Walter Brennan, two episodes from "The Playhouse" with Mr Brennan.
