#MAVERICK ROGER MOORE FULL#

Kelly is cheating his brother Maverick at a game and Moore points it out to him. The opening scene is classic as Jack Kelly, James Garner, and Moore are on a train ride together.

In this one he plays a rich son of a super rich father (Neil Hamilton later Commissioner on Batman). This is Roger Moore's first episode of Maverick. Good entry, despite the convoluted storyline. How else, for example, could they have worked in that richly droll very last scene. Yes indeed, Maverick's slyly comedic format opened up all sorts of possibilities not usually found in Westerns. Then too, where else on 50's TV would a naughty excerpt from that 19th-century naughty novel East Lynne be heard. Also, I suspect there's some inside jokes going on with the repeated Ivy League references. Crowley gently spoofs her ingénue role, while Hamilton crunches his bullying tycoon, making this a particularly enjoyable entry. Looks like the role may have led to Moore's replacing Garner the following year when Garner jumped ship from TV to the movies. Actually Moore gets equal time with Garner and in the process shows his comedic talents. It's a version of the Dickens classic A Tale of Two Cities told Maverick style.

Good thing the series tongue in cheek is on full display because the plot complications are hard to follow. Son of wealthy magnate (Moore) hires Bret to switch identities with him to win affections of pretty heiress (Crowley).
