As a little girl watching Lancer...Johnny was ever the one who touched my heart & I remember 50 years later how sweet & soft spoken he was.. he was a Legend. But he had such a sad life..I often prayed for him and was so sorry he had PTSD and did prison time. His candle burned out long before his Legend ever did.....now 50 years he's still young and gorgeous on the tv screen !!!!
I like how Johnny gives a thumbs up as he goes by guest star characters. He does that in at least 3 episodes. Wonder if it was in the script or if James Stacy added it to look more natural as he's walking by. I read a 1969 TV Guide article on him & he said he would tell the show's writers that what they wrote wasn't a natural response sometimes. The same article said the producer admitted he was right & changed various scripts.
SUSAN STRASBERG PLAYED THE PART OF JULIE, WITH A BEAUTIFUL & BEGUILING FACE. SHE PLAYED SCOTT LANCER, LIKE A FIDDLE. SHE PLAYED THE PART SO WELL, THAT YOU COULD HATE HER ONE MINTUE, & FEEL SORRY FOR THE NEXT. SHE & JOHNNY WERE BOTH DOING WHAT THEY HAD TO DO FOR THE SAKE OF FAMILY. SHE HAD NO QUALMS ABOUT USING SCOTT, TO SAVE HER BROTHER, EVEN IF IT MEANT HIS DEATH. JOHNNY DID NOT LIKE USING JULIE FOR SCOTT, BUT LIKE JULIE, HIS BROTHER SCOTT IS HIS, BOND TO HIS FAMILY. WITH SCOTT, AS JOHNNY SAYS HE DO NOT FEEL LIKE AN ORPHAN. HE HAS A BROTHER, TO LOVE & PROTECT. SCOTT WOULD DO THE SAME FOR HIM, SO HE WILL DO ANYTHING, EVEN BREAK THE LAW TO SAVE HIS BROTHER. LIKE THE SONG SAYS ("HE AIN'T HEAVY") "HE'S MY BROTHER" ) A BURDEN OF BROTHERY LOVE IS EASY FOR THESE (2) LANCER BROTHERS. KUDOS TO SCOTT& JOHNNY) LANCER BROTHERS FOREVER. WE MISS YOU A LOVING LANCER FAN💝🎥
04:30 - 04:55 In a matter of seconds Scott's fortunes with the pretty Julie have switched to his very good fortune. In fact, he's stunned when she trumps his invite to the church dance with a proposal that they spend the afternoon together. Look how he excitedly moves his head back and forth at 04:50 - 04:55, practically speechless, where he responds to Julie, "What a great idea -- I don't have anything to do this afternoon." Not too dissimilar to how most males would respond if they were offered the enthusiastic, willing company of a young Susan Strasberg, -- so very pretty here -- and / or a young 'Julie.' Icing on the cake is his one-upmanship with Johnny. He'd just witnessed Johnny getting shot down with his attempt with a 'cold call' on one of the local ladies and now he's got the most luminous girl in town as his date. Sadly for Scott, this was all too good to be true; his good fortune goes south quickly with the arrival of bounty hunter Bruce Dern who's after Julie's outlaw brother. I really like this episode. Near equal amount of compelling screen time for both Scott and Johnny. Nice location photography. As always, "thank you, 'Lancer Fan.'"
I was watching cagney ,& lacey last nite on TH-cam,jamie stacy was in it he was in a wheelchair chair half arm and one leg i never knew he had a very very bad accident then i lookbup on Jamie Stacy he died age 79.I knew he looked very formally looking by his doft toned voice.
Pretty sure the bracelet was actually a necklace...probably "love beads" considering it was 1969. In one episode, you see Johnny looping the beads twice around his wrist and it was still loose enough to slide right off. More than likely the necklace was a personal piece rather than part of his studio wardrobe.
The pain of tragedies and the emotional reactions that can carry this either direction of +/- May God grant James Stacy, and all those his life touched eternal positive abundance energies. ❤ 💫 "Keep always a mind focused on the positive desire and that will be its reality." - Carole Cole
This girl Johnny asked must have been blind, deaf, mute and very, very dumb to reject THIS man. Pushing the most gorgeous specimen of the genus off the edge of your bed is a truely bad mistake. What did she think the alternatives in the small village might be like? It's not him who makes you feel sorry for, it's her.
That night in the line shack, of sorry circumstances of her sorry life back home she told Johnny how scrawny the chickens were; how poor her family was. THAT'S what she wants to go back to, now that there's nothing she can do with or for her brother?! Johnny had her 'all set' to run down to Mexico and make a life for herself, her brother and him. Then, with her brother dead and all options open, 'when push comes to shove' going home to NOTHING is preferable? No way. That's the writer's fault. If said writer penned a dying mother or a fiance 'back home,' THAT would be a legitimate, understandable reason to decline Johnny's vision of utopia. At the river reunion with her brother, he was upset because all the money she'd brought from home she ended up, out of necessity, giving it to the bounty hunters to keep them at bay. So how does all-on-her-own Julie afford stage and train fare to return cross country? Not explained. As ghoulish and cold as it sounds on the surface, when 'the wolf is at the door' all options are open. Such as: when the sheriff sends a deputy or two and a few townsmen to search down river to retrieve the outlaw brother's corpse, the sheriff and Johnny will see to it that Julie gets the reward -- that is if the homicidal bounty hunting duo of Bruce Dern and Val Avery don't rush down river and beat them to the gruesome yet profitable chore. "Lancer" 'Julie' -- Thumbs WAY UP on the acting of the regulars and guest cast, the original, memorable, background music score that fits the scenes 'like a glove' and the scenic locations [courtesy of the studio's location facility, Century Ranch / since the mid '70s it's been open to the public as Malibu Creek State Park]. Afterthought: In the end credits of the three Lancers galloping their steeds together, as photographed from a camera car on an adjacent, paved road ensuring a smooth picture, James Stacy hardly looks like Johnny Lancer / Johnny Madrid when holding onto the saddle's horn 'for dear life.' At the time of filming the director, the assistant director, the wrangler, James Stacy, Andrew Duggan, Wayne Maunder -- take your pick -- should have said "STOP film. Give the actor another week at the stable for riding lessons. Since the pilot sold, Jim is going to be doing plenty of riding and he really should look comfortable and skilled when riding as he's shown us to be with a sixgun.
What about that livery stable guy he got Scott’s identification and money they didn’t show them getting it back he stole that money he should’ve been in trouble
Sorry, but the studio and or the network 'shoving Paul Brinegar down our throats' as an unnecessary additional regular, Jelly, did not 'sit' with a significant contingent of the "Lancer" faithful -- myself included. My mouth was agape when Jelly took up a third of 'The Gifts' episode (family members looking for gifts for Murdoch's birthday) that SHOULD have been Teresa's (Elizabeth Baur) screen time. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?! Not only is the sole woman of the ranch M.I.A., but her name isn't even mentioned in the others' dialogue pertaining to the patriarch's birthday! How appropriate, how appreciated it would have been to follow the example of her TV character peers, e.g., Audra Barkley (Linda Evans) on "The Big Valley" "went to San Francisco to look at dress patterns" and Elizabeth (Sara Lane) on "The Virginian" "is in Cheyenne buying a new saddle and bridle at the custom tack shop recommended by the Virginian and Trampas." . . . . Pretty Lynn Loring's (reddish tinted, thick long hair, facial features include freckles and big, beautiful eyes) two guest shots are 'night and day' in the 'good' or 'lousy' categories. Lots of western-style action in the great outdoors in year one's 'Foley'; a big yawn is the next season's 'Shadow of a Dead Man'. Adding to the second season's Loring outing is the exteriors look awful when shot mostly on a soundstage -- and looks it. The cheapness of the soundstage substituting for the great outdoors is exhibited again with contrasting Brenda Scott's two outings. Year one's 'Glory' (Ms. Scott essaying the title role) shows a working cattle empire, Lancer, in 'the great outdoors.' She's back the next season for 'The Buscaderos' gobbling up way too much screen time at the hacienda giving the hour a claustrophobic look AND feel. Not to mention the UNREALISTIC story point where the ENTIRE RANCH is defenseless because near everyone's away on a (cattle) drive. . . . . . . . Now 'Julie' here is an excellent episode. Far too many "Lancer" hours 'lost their way' from the promising premise of the pilot; more so in the second season. Year two's 'The Lion and the Lamb' is a perfect example of misfires, of getting away from the set-up displayed in the excellent, thrilling 'big western look' of the pilot. Viewers observe Johnny has a steady, guest star Donna Mills, and right under his nose sheepman Andrew Prine snatches her affections. Johnny doesn't even raise a fuss OR put up a fight. UNBELIEVABLE. This from the same, sane man who in 'Blind Man's Bluff' goes racing barefoot in his nightshirt across vast Lancer acreage after the departing buggy taking Mattie (the luminous guest star Melissa Murphy, who could give blonde beauty Donna Mills 'a run for the money' in the looks department, in a stellar performance as a young, orphaned mute woman) -- whom he's fallen head over heals for and she for him. Because I liked the show so much I was so disappointed when it repeatedly 'went off track.' Oh how I wish the producer, when commissioning the writing of an episode, insisted the writer report to the studio's screening room and watch 'The High Riders' on the big screen and be reminded "THIS is 'Lancer.' And here are Murdoch, Teresa, Johnny and Scott -- each and every one, vita characters." TMI here. But Paul Brinegar -- or any addition to a tight knit group, Murdoch, Scott, Johnny, Teresa -- WHAT were they thinking?!
he was a good neighbor in The Burbs, it's a funny movie, and wasn't bad in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Which by the way brought a lot of people back to the Lancer series.
@@paulajenkins8005 except me...I just watched Once Upon a Time after seeing it mentioned in comments. DiCaprio did an excellent job throughout that movie, way more acting skill than Brad Pitt. DiCaprio as the character DeCouteau (Day Pardee in the Lancer Pilot) was amazing. The actor that portrayed Johnny fell way short and was disappointing. James Stacy had such charisma on screen.
@@shanonkay907 not really sure what your except me comment was about. I didn't say it brought all the people in the world who saw the movie back to Lancer I said it brought a lot of people apparently you weren't one of them. You are absolutely right about DiCaprio and the fact that Oliphant wasn't any were near the level that James Stacy was as Johnny Madrid Lancer, but that doesn't negate the fact that people were searching for the Lancer series thanks to that movie. And I love James Stacy no one could have played that part better than him in my humble opinion
@@paulajenkins8005 I apologize if you thought my "except me" was somehow negative. I was only 8 when Lancer was on TV and don't remember ever watching it back then. We only had one tv and there were 5 kids in my family so my choice was limited to Sunday nights when I always chose to watch the Disney movie. You are so right about James Stacy as Johnny Madrid! I have fallen head over heels in love with him! So very tragic how his life unfolded after his motorcycle crash. I wish NBC had given Lancer more support back then and left us with more than just two seasons. I also wish there were more episodes featuring both Johnny and Scott as they had such a good chemistry on screen.
As a little girl watching Lancer...Johnny was ever the one who touched my heart & I remember 50 years later how sweet & soft spoken he was.. he was a Legend. But he had such a sad life..I often prayed for him and was so sorry he had PTSD and did prison time. His candle burned out long before his Legend ever did.....now 50 years he's still young and gorgeous on the tv screen !!!!
@Patricia Walters popp
Loved the look on johnny face when he asked the girl to the dance and she walked away!
Bruce Dern, always a baddie. Love the series. Thank you for sharing.
Bruce D. He all kind of roles in his life.
I like the sheriff....he doesn't take crap from the bounty hunters.
Bruce Dern is great in this as he is in everything
Gorgeous Johnny, still love him after 50 years, tough, gentle and so sexy.
Scott.
Johnny went to prison over little girls.
I like how Johnny gives a thumbs up as he goes by guest star characters. He does that in at least 3 episodes. Wonder if it was in the script or if James Stacy added it to look more natural as he's walking by.

This episode really shows Johnny's love for his brother and family !!!
Really loved how Johnny Lancer loves his brother Scott !!!

Love this episode! Notice at the end Johnny leaves on a dark horse instead of Barranca.
His horse was scared off by Julie
The horse was so good that he ran all 100 miles home! HA!
Shown in the UK on BBC Two in colour which was rare for the time on Monday 26th May 1969.
Scott refuses to take the easy way out. True courage, that.
04:30 - 04:55 In a matter of seconds Scott's fortunes with the pretty Julie have switched to his very good fortune. In fact, he's stunned when she trumps his invite to the church dance with a proposal that they spend the afternoon together. Look how he excitedly moves his head back and forth at 04:50 - 04:55, practically speechless, where he responds to Julie, "What a great idea -- I don't have anything to do this afternoon."

I watcherd lancer when i was young,i fell in love with jamie stacy ,he was just so sexy and really beautiful looking.
I was watching cagney ,& lacey last nite on TH-cam,jamie stacy was in it he was in a wheelchair chair half arm and one leg i never knew he had a very very bad accident then i lookbup on Jamie Stacy he died age 79.I knew he looked very formally looking by his doft toned voice.
Who made James Stacy's ring, bracelet and gold medallion he always wore !! Never seen that jewelry before or since.
It was gorgeous and unique jewelry
Pretty sure the bracelet was actually a necklace...probably "love beads" considering it was 1969. In one episode, you see Johnny looping the beads twice around his wrist and it was still loose enough to slide right off. More than likely the necklace was a personal piece rather than part of his studio wardrobe.
