Actor, director and writer Clint Eastwood created quite a ruckus
when he performed a speech at the recent Republican National Convention. His ‘invisible Obama in a chair’ routine
received both rants and raves amongst Republicans and Democrats.
So popular was his speech that the video went viral and
started a whole new Clint Eatwoodian craze.
Long before Clint became famous for such movies as Dirty Harry
and The Man With No Name, he was a young struggling actor on the hit TV Western
series Rawhide.
He, along with other cast members, portrayed cowboys and
trail hands escorting huge numbers of cattle across the rough and dangerous
West. Along the way they encountered
rustlers, conmen, thieves, murderers, Indians and every other conceivable type
of dangerous situation imaginable back in the Old West.
Colorful characters populate each and every episode filled with
danger, romance and adventure. It’s the
Old West as it was in true life: wild and unpredictable.
Paramount continues its DVD series that collects all of the
episodes from the classic Western series Rawhide. This time it’s the Complete Fifth Season in
two volumes. For the best in Western TV
series be sure to check out Rawhide-it’s as rough and rowdy as its name
suggests.
