The Texan was, like most of the 1950s Westerns, made up of morality plays in which good always prevailed. It also follows the plot of many Westerns - man wanders around getting in and out of trouble, but winds up helping everyone he comes across - except the bad guys.
Reviews. Cast. Videos. Details. The Texan is a TV Western series that aired from 1958 to 1960, starring Rory Calhoun as Bill Longley, a wandering gunman who helps those in need while grappling with his own troubled past.
Synopsis. Rory Calhoun plays gunman Bill Longley, "The Texan," who travels across Texas from town to town in the wake of the Civil War. His reputation as a gunfighter precedes him and often brings trouble wherever he ends up next.
Rory Calhoun’s version of Bill Longley, “The Texan”, took great liberties with the truth about the bigoted real life Longley who killed his first man when he was 15 in 1866 and was eventually hung in 1878 at 27.
The Texan sees red when a mother and her child are killed during a wild robbery. Although law prohibits the sheriff from tracking the outlaws into Mexico, Bill Longley won't be stopped by any border.
