William Shatner as Alexander the Great, Joseph Cotten as General Antigonus and John Doucette as Kleitos (swinging a rather "cheeky" Bill around in gifs three and four) in the hour long color pilot episode of Alexander the Great, shot for ABC in 1963. Though the pilot wasn't picked up as a series by the network, ABC did broadcast it as a Sunday night "children's TV special" (???!!!!) in 1968.

The Lonely Man - Disfunctional Family Western

Unusual chance to see Jack Palance in a starring role. He plays an aging notorious gunslinger/outlaw who reconnects with his grown son who he hasn’t seen in 14 years. The old tried and true plot line about the bad guy who tries to ‘go good’, but his past won’t let him, but this one with a psychological angle. From the way the romantic tensions are played out between Palance’s woman and his son, you can see the ending coming from a mile off. Palance will eventually die sacrificially so his son can live ‘the honest life’ and make up for the past wrongs. Decent cast, and a good final showdown, but Palance’s acting is a little wooden throughout, and Anthony Perkins more than makes up for it in twitchiness.
