BAT MASTERSON -STARRING – GENE BARRY
Bat Masterson was a Western television series which showed a fictionalized account of the life of real-life marshal/gambler/dandy Bat Masterson. The title character was played by Gene Barry and the half-hour black and white shows ran on NBC from 1958 to 1961. The show took a tongue-in-cheek outlook, with Barry’s Masterson dressed in expensive Eastern clothing and preferring to use his cane rather than a gun to get himself out of trouble (also the case with the real Masterson), hence the nickname “Bat.” Masterson was also portrayed as a ladies’ man who traveled the West looking for women and adventure. The black derby, fancy vest, black jacket, and elegant cane were his trademarks (and were widely marketed in miniature to child viewers as tie-in products during the run of the show).
The quality of this set is excellent. Action packed 108 episodes with Gene Barry in the role of Bat Masterson, a gentleman of the old west who prefers to use his cane rather then a gun.
