It's great to see Paladin's curmudgeonly side when he realises he must disembark from the stage to look after a stubborn woman who insists in stranding herself in the middle of the desert. Christie Smith claims to be plain but actor Marian Seldes is far too beautiful to be considered in any way unattractive. The stubborn woman turns out to be a mail order bride and Paladin must see her safely to the ranch of her intended husband. The remainder of the story deals with the solution to the mystery of his failure to meet Ms Smith at the appointed place and time.
Why didn't Paladin step on the tarantula? Why did he have to use the firewood log? Are tarantulas terribly difficult to squash?
Marian Seldes was on the faculty of Julliard from 1967 to 1991. Her students included Laura Linney, Kevin Kline, Patti LuPone and Kevin Spacey. She studied dance under Martha Graham. One wonders if she was a student at the same time as Richard Boone, who also studied under Martha Graham. Boone liked to use up-and-coming new talent as guest stars in HGWT. A review of the list of guest stars indicates Boone had an eye for talent.
