Hollywood's version of the old west comes alive in this portrayal of a nattily dressed dude with a cool cane who bops thugs over the head instead of giving them a lead enema. Would be a very non-violent, politically correct law and order serial if done today. From what I have read of the real Bat Masterson, one could smell him coming from a quarter mile off and he was regularly drunk as Cooter Brown. I suppose this bilge gave the ladies another handsome actor to swoon over every thursday night while the hubby sat in his easy chair ignoring her except when requesting another brew. Gimme Roy Rogers or Lash LaRue any day over this dandified sissy. And that song! ...a man of steel the stories saaayyyy, and ladies eyes all glanced his waaayyy, the man who had the fastest guuunnn, they called him Baaattt, Bat Masterson! Drivel, absolute, vomitous drivel!
