#Branded 12 (1965) - 9/10
#PatrickWayne guests.
1️⃣ Why do TV heroes agree to go deep undercover with only ONE PERSON knowing the truth? Haven’t they learned, from decades of watching TV, that that one person is bound to get themselves killed? Such is the exact problem Jason McCord (#ChuckConnors) faced at the end of the previous episode.
2️⃣ This episode is mostly a battle of wills between our hero and the bitter major (#WendellCorey) who is holding him for execution. It’s quite a situation. And, frankly, the viewer has no idea how McCord will save himself this time. The answer, when it comes, is simple but clever and satisfying.
3️⃣ These last 3 episodes were edited together into a movie called Broken Sabre.
