Alicia I love this movie so much

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

mastro726-1 Liked the show but the kid was just too wimpy. How could anyone believe that this twit was the offspring of rough tough Lucas McCain. It was nauseating watching how many times he would jump into his arms at the end of so many episodes, even when he got bigger! Favorite episodes are the five with Richard Anderson, a favorite of mine. Here is a worthy project. How many times do you think Lucas Boy was knocked unconscious in the series ? Dozens I would bet.

christopher48273 If anyone thinks The Rifleman is good, wholesome family fun, they need to take a human rights course. Naturally, since the show was created in the 50's, it displays typical 1950's American social values. The show is rife with misogynistic, bigoted and otherwise ignorant attitudes which are mostly (and surprisingly) expressed by Mark, the young boy in the show.This is pretty frightening, as young people watching the show today could certainly adopt these outdated, and dangerous views of women and minorities. I am further surprised at some of the other reviews which applaud the show for its messages, high morals and good examples. Have another look, and listen more closely to what the messages really are. Here is a quote from a show aired this morning: Mark: "An Indian Marshall? What's the world coming to?" To which his father replies something like: "Well, what are you gonna do?"This series should at least carry a disclaimer which warns viewers about what they are about to see.

ellis1947 Two things in this episode are worth mentioning. First, as Mark is sent away from the ranch by Lucas, due to the possibility of his catching Yellow Fever, Mark says something to the effect of: "See you tomorrow night, dad!" This is the only time in the entire run of the show that he ever addresses his father as "Dad". Usually he calls him Pa ("Paw").The other thing in this episode is a distant shot of what appears to be an automobile driving across a field far behind the outdoor location of the McCain Ranch. As Luoas says goodbye to Mark as he prepares to go into town with the doctor, behind them far in the hills you can see what appears to be a vehicle driving along. It happens quickly, but is very noticeable.As usual, a great episode, but a remarkable one due to these two things.

Jynne As a kid growing up in the 70s, "The Rifleman" was one the only other western besides "Wild, Wild, West" that I really liked--I envied Mark McCain and the great father he had on the show (played by Connors). Yes, each show was a morality play but so were many other shows of the 50s & 60s (including "Star Trek"). They made their point at a time when there was still some innocence in America, and even taught tolerance for people from other countries/cultures (for example, in the episode of "Rifleman" where a Japanese man gets insulted & pushed into a fight with one of the locals & uses Judo to defend himself). Lucas McCain taught his son by example NEVER to use a gun or fight unless it was self-defense. It sounds silly now, but when I was a kid I wished my dad had explained things to me the same way Chuck Connors did to his son in the show--ah well, thank goodness for TV writers! :)
