Divorced. Robert Culp. 36, TV actor (I Spy); by Nancy Culp, 32. on grounds of extreme mental cruelty; after nine years of marriage, four children: in Los Angeles...
Brando's prime Appaloosa stallion obviously means more to him than any team of Hollywood scriptwriters ever imagined. In a role that a lesser actor might easily saunter through, Brando handicaps himself with a fiercely concentrated acting style more suitable for great occasions. He seems determined to play not just a man but a whole concept of humanity, and Saxon's brazen theft of the hoss soon looms as a cause equal in significance to the Magna Carta or the Declaration of Human Rights.

Richard Mulligan is cast as an actor who is cast as an actor in a TV western series. In real life he is a suburban dude and a sort of all-round schlemiel. Between (and sometimes during) takes, he is horse-shy, allergic to sagebrush, and as rugged as Mr. Peepers. But the sight gags are inventive, and the dialogue is literate. The only other situation comedy worth a twirl is That Girl...
