Laredo: Three's Company (1965)
Season 1, Episode 5
2/10
A reunion of the supremely talented writer John McGreevey and the ethereally beautiful actress Myrna Fahey...
10 July 2021
Was genuinely curious, upon the recent passing of the legendary William Smith, to sample a "Laredo" episode as a sort of tribute! The episode I chose---the first season's 'Three's Company' had, at least on paper, an impressive pedigree in that it featured veteran actor David Brian, but, mostly, that it was a creative re-teaming of a thoroughly impressive writer (John McGreevey), and an astonishingly beautiful, memorably impactful actress in the late Myrna Fahey! Previously, the two were part of an exceedingly memorable creative collaboration in the 90 minute "Wagon Train" episode titled "The Melanie Craig Story" (also featuring a strong performance from the late Jim Davis)! The "Laredo" episode also featured the same bizarrely, comically whimsical music, but where the episodes differ lies in the impressive literacy of the "Wagon Train" script, and the masterfully anchoring performance of the comely Ms. Fahey! The "Laredo" script, unfortunately, in no way meets the tremendous quality, and high standards of McGreevey's much better, previously authored outing!
