    Great Fun!

    I'm watching all 17 episodes of this forgotten series, made in 1960, and which I enjoy much more than some of the more ponderous Western series, like Gunsmoke and The Deputy. The chemistry between William Bendix and Doug McClure is lively and funny. Not all the episodes are top-notch - the last one made, Most Dangerous Gentleman, has a silly plot about President Grant and almost nothing to do with the stagecoach line. This one's pure fun.

    Mission into Mexico has a great cast, including the underrated Robert Loggia, who played Elfego Barca for Disney. as well as Doug McClure's future wife, BarBara Luna. The shenanigans will make you smile all the way.

      Flip tells Kelly, "Carlos and his men are between us and the French Calvary". Flip should have said cavalry. Calvary is the hill where Jesus Christ was crucified; the word cavalry refers to an army unit on horseback.
    • Quotes

      Capitan Porfirio Diaz: The older man will be a Senor Kelly.

      Estrelita: And the younger one?

      Capitan Porfirio Diaz: They call him "Flip". He is - how do you say - your pigeon. They will be at the hotel; you will meet him.

      Estrelita: But Porfirio, how does someone go about meeting someone in that manner? I don't think I will be able...

      Capitan Porfirio Diaz: You're a woman... a beautiful woman. It will not be difficult. Is it too much to ask for Mexico?

      Estrelita: For Mexico, no. Wish me luck!
