Story on chinese queue12/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Of course Marshal Dillon is a witnesses to the event and advises that any law-abiding person can live in Dodge and helps Chen make his way into town. They do not want no Chinese man in Dodge. When two cowboys see him getting off they make their way to him and throw him back inside the stage. A Chinese man named Chen is on the stage that arrives in Dodge. However during the first few minutes of the show when the Chinese man was seen getting off the stage there was no doubt where this show was going. When reading the title of this episode I was somewhat confused since I was not familiar with the word Queue other than a line of people. I can't help thinking that the success of this first year owes a lot to the maverick sensibility of the innovative Sam Peckinpah. Also, Luke's final gesture comes across as both credible and satisfying. ![]() Can't help noting also, that even here, Peckinpah shows real contempt for pious hypocrites as his movies and TV series The Westerner later demonstrate. Then too, the little dental episode in Doc's office is well scripted and a real hoot. No doubt, this accounts for several unconventional touches, such as the saloon scene where Dillon is forced to back down because of his own words, or Luke's sudden shedding of his false, stereotypical personality. Here it's Sam Peckinpah from a story idea by John Meston. It's clear that the quality of these early episodes is largely determined by who does the screenplay. Story is complicated by sin-obsessed hypocrite (Sebastian Cabot) whose loyalties appear uncertain- will he aid Luke or the two men. Rumor is that Luke's treasure box he's brought along contains riches- another reason to do him harm. Chinese man (Keye Luke) arrives in Dodge only to be roughed up by two men who themselves were victimized by Chinese claim-jumpers (nice motivational touch). Interesting episode with unusual plot that makes the ending unpredictable. ![]()
