John Dehner stars a Paladin in "Have Gun Will Travel" - "Bitter Vingeance" with Virginia Gray as the co-star. Excellent adventure western. This is edited with all but one, original commercial. Yes radio had to raise the level of commercials by 1958 as it struggled to compete with television for good actors. Richard Boone played Paladin on television. That series ran from 1957-1962. Dehner's portrayl of Paladin was very different than the tv Paladin. That was in his contract, that he could develop the character as he saw fit and simply copy the tv character. Dehner's Paladin was a bit more cerebral than the tv Paladin. As a side note... Richard Boone was the seventh-generation nephew of the pioneer Daniel Boone. Richard Boone died of lung cancer in 1981. John Dehner passed away in 1992 as the age of 76.
