Der Kopfgeldjäger
(1958)
Schauspieler:
Steve McQueen, Wright KingDer wortkarge Josh Randall verdient sich seinen Lebensunterhalt als gnadenloser Kopfgeldjäger und das eine oder andere Mal als Privatdetektiv. Dabei gerät er oft in brenzlige Situationen.
Die Westernserie Josh war die erste größere Rolle für Steve McQueen, einem der großen Hollywood-Superstars der 70er Jahre. Filme wie Bullit, Getaway, Papillion und Fammendes Inferno machten in zum bestbezahlten Schauspieler seiner Zeit. 1980 starb Steve McQueen knapp 50jährig an einem Krebsleiden.
Wanted: Dead or Alive originally aired in black and white on CBS. The pilot aired on the series "Trackdown" in March 1958. Bounty hunter Josh Randall was unlike any bounty hunter, he usually gave half or all of his reward money to good causes. He was a gentlemen and very respectful of the elderly. He was a man of few words and seemed to lack emotion but he was adept at using his gun, not an ordinary gun but a .44-.40 sawed-off 1892 Winchester carbine which he had on his "Mare's Leig", BUT the cartridges in his belt were .45-.70! His catch phrase in almost every episode was "Let's Go" which he spoke softly and sounded more like les goo. A treasure one not to be missed, especially to see Mr. Cool himself, Steve McQueen.
