BAT MASTERSON: Best of Season 1

Premiering in 1958, this popular TV western provided a fictionalized account of the real-life marshal and gambler Bat Masterson. Gene Barry stars as the superbly dressed frontier lawman, generally outfitted in a black suit and derby hat, who is more inclined to hit crooks over the head with his gold-knobbed cane than to shoot them. Twelve episodes. In B&W. Over five hours on 2 DVDs.
