Re: SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE  (reply)
Well, you know what would have really sold the Tim Holt version? If instead of Charles Bronson, they would have cast Richard "Chito" Martin as "Toubo" Rafferty. SOF is a very entertaining show and I plan to watch them all again...

Re: Adams of Eagle Lake: Andy Griffith' 70's Mystery Series  (reply)
