You're welcome. You can also see Bronson in seasons one and two from "HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL". In "THE OUTLAW", he has a full beard, for the only time of his career, and plays a dangerous yet endearing fugitive. His interactions with Richard Boone are great. He made another episode : "THE MAN WHO WOULDN'T TALK". and he plays a very shy rancher who asks Paladin to teach him good manners with women. A very funny film, based on "CYRANO", with a realistic fistfight at the end. Here is Bronson as Holt in "THE OUTLAW". Gives an idea of what he could have looked like, if he had done "A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS".

You can find "THE KILLER" in the DVD box set "GUNSMOKE : THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION", along with another Bronson episode, "THE LOST RIFLE". In this one, Bronson plays Ben Tiple, a nice poor rancher, friend of Matt Dillon's, who's accused of murder. He adopts an orphan teenager... But Crego is much more impressive !

Holland is like an older version of Bishop in "THE MECHANIC" : a hitman, who can read lips. It's one of his 80's movies the most related to his star image from the seventies.

Crego was the baddest bad guy Bronson ever played in a western. It was on a " GUNSMOKE" episode called " THE KILLER", and as a neurotic, homicidal coward, Bronson was really scary, a rattle-snake. Crego tries to slap Miss Kitty. Matt disagrees...

These last few years, some Bronson movies and TV episodes have resurfaced on IMDB, like "BATTLE ZONE", "TORPEDO ALLEY". The Man had bit parts in these films (but he was quite funny in "BATTLE ZONE"). He played a character named "Russell" in "OFF LIMITS", a Bob Hope comedy in 1953. Did anyone see it ? What part was it ? Another boxer ?

Great pictures from "NOBILITY OF KINGS" ! In "EARTHQUAKE", from "THE BIG VALLEY", he drank so much, that Barbara Stanwyck had to threaten him with a broken bottle. I remember Bronson was drunk in "MISS SADIE THOMPSON", and was a big whisky fan in "NEVER SO FEW", "A THUNDER OF DRUMS", too.

I'm not a great fan of the films Bronson made in the eighties. I think the "true Bronson" ended his career with "THE WHITE BUFFALO". Nethertheless, "MURPHY'S LAW" is entertaining, and I think Bronson needed the kind of partnership Kathleen Wilhoite gave him in this film, to revive his persona. Bronson already played drunks, mostly on TV ("THE BIG VALLEY", "THE VIRGINIAN") and he does it quite well in "MURPHY'S LAW".
