Stories of the Century - 36 TV western episodes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)St. Clair Vision's 3-DVD set of "Stories of the Century" is a quick, inexpensive way to obtain almost the entire run of this 1954-55 Emmy award winning Western series. St. Clair has included 36 of the 39 half hour episodes that were produced for this series. The basic premise of "Stories of the Century" was to place Matt Clark, railroad detective, and one of his female partners in mostly fictional stories that are intertwined with actual historical figures and events. Clark is portrayed by Jim Davis, a veteran television actor who is perhaps best known by modern audiences for his portrayal of Jock Ewing, the family patriarch on "Dallas." Davis is a solid, likeable actor who's well suited to the Western genre and he's excellent throughout the series, as are his two female partners, played by Mary Castle and Kristine Miller. Look for guest stars like Slim Pickens, Fess Parker, and Lee Van Cleef in a few of the episodes.
"Stories of the Century" has previously been released by Platinum Disc Corporation on four DVDs under the title "Legends of the Old West." If you are looking to obtain the entire series, Platinum has released all 39 episodes (along with a few bonus episodes of "Judge Roy Bean"), and Amazon carries the Platinum releases as well. "Stories of the Century" cleverly mixes fact with fiction and is sure to satisfy fans of television Westerns.
