Storyline:
The fifth season of Bonanza commenced on September 22, 1963 with the episode titled "She Walks in Beauty." Gena Rowlands guest-stars as Ragan Miller, whose ravishing good looks have brought her nothing but misery and disastrous romantic relationships. Despising all men, she merely uses them to get what she really wants out of life. Ragan's arrival in Virginia City immediately sows the seeds of jealousy between brothers Hoss and Adam Cartwright, culminating in a bloody fistic brawl. Jeanne Cooper costars as Ragan's older sister Emilia. Written on rottentomatoes.com
Reviews:
"Season five of Bonanza began with this tale of two sisters. Jeanne Cooper is not thrilled with the prospect of younger sister Gena Rowlands coming home to Virginia City. Rowlands is a notorious flirt who uses and disposes of men as it suits her. Kind of like Scarlett O'Hara without the southern accent and the roots of Tara.
But Dan Blocker is smitten with her. And as we know Hoss Cartwright is a good hearted soul who only sees the good in people. But Pernell Roberts is a more worldly person and he was recently in San Francisco where he heard tales of Rowlands and her men.
This leads to a split in the Cartwright family, but how it is all resolved is for you to see the story.
It's a nicely written story with both Cooper and Rowlands and Blocker and Roberts of the regulars dominating the story." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
"Unbeknownst to him, Hoss Cartwright has fallen in love at first sight with a woman of ill-repute (played in an extremely polite manner by Gena Rowlands) who is visiting her sister from racy San Francisco. This being 1963, the writers can't use the words 'jezebel' or 'prostitute', but the point is made clear when Adam Cartwright is seduced by man-hungry Gena right in her sister's front yard! The crux of the story however is a bit outdated, that a woman with a bad reputation is much like a leopard--she could never change her spots. Rowlands gets a good lecturing by Ben Cartwright--we even get to see the Cartwright brothers come to blows (minus Little Joe, who spends this entire episode hovering in the background). I'm not sure why the "Bonanza" stories couldn't feature each of the main characters equally when it came to tales of family conflict, but it seems the lead parts were divvied up week by week. This fifth season of the show was strong on episodes featuring Dan Blocker's Hoss prominently, and here he gets to utilize a colorful range: lovestruck rancher, clumsy gentleman caller, jealous boyfriend, hurt and angry brother. It's a triumph for both Blocker and Hoss, as we see a loyal and dedicated side to the big guy when it comes to matters of the heart (he even agrees to leaving his precious Ponderosa if his lady-love wants a life in the city). The film-stock used on "Bonanza" was terrific, as the colors just pop off the screen, and Rowlands (in an off-the-shoulder, Lily Langtree-styled party dress) has never looked so dreamy. Blocker, too, looks a might handsome, and his devotion to her is exceptionally heartfelt for a weekly western television program." Written by moonspinner55 on IMDb.com

Brotherly love. As hoss fights with Adam, Adam didnt fight him back.
I love how Hoss puts his arm on his brother at the very end as they walk away. Best character ever on Bonanza. Sad Dan Blocker died so young.
I liked Hoss but he was not the best he was my 3rd favorite on the show first Adam then Ben Next Hoss I didn't care to much for Joe
AT the end did you catch it when Hoss put his arm around Adam? Adam flinched!.
@@sogman7265 some people don't like to be touched a lot I don't not even with family in fact I don't really remember Adam ever hugging one of his brother's
Yes, The Best Character! My hope is to marry a man with the Character of Hoss.
I agree, Hoss is my favorite too. I like the whole family, but Hoss is the best!
Gena Rowlands and Jenna Cooper's performance are simply superb.Their acting are incredible!
Gena, aging some, with an aging james Garner acted in the 2002(?) love story that was one of the rare great films, in these times when Hollywood is virtually no more. The young Rachel McAdams endeared millions to her, she playing wonderfully in last 20 years in some other fine films. Darn it, the name of film simply slipped away...showing my aging! (Look up "Rachel McAdam's" name and her film w/Garner & Gena Rowlands.
For sure, for sure. Gena Rowlands was a long time favorite for me.
I imagine the weeks viewership shot up this week. I believe Genna was/or is married to a film director many decades and he directed Genna and ames Garnerr in 2002(?) in that greatest love story with Rachel McAdams and and older Garner & Genna Rowlands...absolutely beautiful.
Gena was a stunning woman
@@wally1452 Gena was married to the guy that played the husband in Rosemarys baby
AIN'T NOTHING LIKE A BROTHER THAT LOVES YOU, HE'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, EVEN IF HE GOT TO GO DOWN.
A little bit of tough love vs. a devastating emotional blow a few years down the line.
This Bonanza family no matter what, through thick and thin situations, love and hate, confusion and straight thinking stick together, and their love for each other is the alchemist's stone of love. One has to love when they say to each other let's go home, to our Ponderosa.
what a beautiful comment
And all 4 ride together back to the ponderosa house
I could stare at Pernell Roberts all day! 😍
Me too😁😁
I am almost 70 years old and I wished I could go back in time and find a way to marry Adam. He is handsome, nice body, with sensitive and loving personality🤩
I could stare at Pernell Roberts all day too.
Me too
Me too.🤗🤗❤
When I was a little girl, this episode came on tv. All I could remember of it was the part where she got off the stage wearing the veil and Hoss says something about 'must be ugly as a mud fence'. or like that. lol I wanted to see it again as an adult to see what the episode was about. When I found it I was like YEAH! Thank you so much for posting these episodes! They show morals and are not afraid of quoting scripture. I miss those days.
I liked this episode. It's also good that Adam knew about her, but still hard to see him getting beat up over it. It's good that she helped Hoss understand who she really was. Thanks for posting, it was worth watching.
“It’s about time one of you boys started thinking seriously about getting married” he says to Joe, who’s proposed to at least 8 different women so far.
Yes and joe must be late 30s 🤣😂🤣😂😘
I think Pa and Adam are the same age 😂😂
@@deedeegreen8338 yes 😅🤣😂🤣😂
When I heard that I had to laugh. Joe wanted to marry every girl he met.
Lol huh??? If not now when grown boys 😜🥰😂😐
I love the spiritual message that seems to run be a constant theme in these Bonanza episodes. I love these shows. They are very stirring to me. It really makes me think. This episode was very powerful.
You mean how Jesus loves his bride, and she just aint no good?
@@chatryna 😂! You made me laugh so hard, I'm having a coughing spell !!
RIP Gena Rowlands ❤😢 Beautiful and amazing actress!
A great story. Admirable characters. Self realisation and the strength to own up.
Awwww hoss is a lovely guy so soft and gentle
Yes, until he beats you almost to death.
@@piperalpha5514 ___x__-x__________x____-__x-_--_____-x___-___xz___________-x_-_-_x______-_----__-____-______ ___x_. -
No he was just thirsty
Yeah until he shoots you
I believe Adam would disagree with you on how gentle Hoss is. 😳
Loved this episode it had morals to it. And Adam knew all about this woman and. Was gonna tell hoss he didn't won't his brother to get hurt. I think she did really love hoss but knew she couldn't stay true to him. Thank u 4 up loaded. This one really enjoyed it. I had seen it b4 but bonanza u can watch it all day and it never gets old.
You're welcome! Check out this film as well if you haven't already: th-cam.com/video/nTTOMkRzhh4/w-d-xo.html
i took it a completely different way. not only did i think she loved him, but that she could stay true to him. i dont think she felt worthy of him.
I didn't like it. I'm glad I won't have to see it again.
Added to my bad episode list. Won't watch again.
What a wonderful episode. Early on when Hoss talked about getting old with Reagan I just wanted to jump over to the TV stage in 1965 and say; “Don’t worry Ms Rolands! You’ll be a classical beauty your entire life. There will be a couple of dozens of wonderful roles, Pauly being a personal favorite. Then many decades from now there will be a heart wrenching beloved Notebook - your beauty and acting will still win everyone’s hearts.
I absolutely loved The Notebook! James Garner and this great actress that plays "Reagan." I loved your comment too. Thanks.
How can you not love Hoss, and Dan Blocker as well.
He's a handsome gentleman, too!
He did not push her away he kissed her as much as she did him. However the women gets labeled.
Hoss needed to see, it's timing that is the way they do in a movie . She was label for her behavior before.
I think that Adam knew that Hoss was there so he (Adam) felt that Hoss had to see what kind of woman Regan really was so that's why he kissed her too.
That woman did not deserve Hoss. Even less than the compulsive gambler from The Courtship.
I often wondered why (whomever) never got the best dramatic/romantic script for Pernell R. and Gena R. They would be a screen presence indeed.
Dan Blocker has carried the show more time than the other actors in my opinion
This is one of my favorite one I remember getting out of school to rush home to watch Bonanza thank you
Now you can watch it whenever you want! 🤠👌🍿🎬
Me 2.
On you tube and tubi free episodes
Adam always had the best looking women on the show
Joe had some pretty ones.
It wouldn't have worked out well for Hoss. She can't resist luring men into her arms and Hoss could have wound up killing some guy in a jealous rage.
His response to this woman and ignoring all of the warning signs. Now that is being thirsty
T 1:49
Adam was always there for his brothers. Not fair he was marked as the ack sheep of the family.
Was he? Seems like he's the center of the three brothers, the balanced brother that holds them together.
Concordo. Ele era o suporte.
i don't thinks he's the black sheep, just that his being the oldest, having joe's ans hoss's mothers died and having a great age gap with joe he would have been more like a second father figure to his brothers, not so much a brother. I imagine he would have his differences with ben (being his father) and with his brothers as well, like caught up in the middle so to speak
He was never the black sheep, he had more heart out of all 3 of the brothers , he was just far more sensitive and mature
@@mariaflorenciamolina4849exactly 👍
Don't blame her,Adam was hot
Smoking
She must have been a very infamous "lady of the evening" if Adam heard about her when he was only visiting San Francisco! How did her name even come up- they're at a business dinner and someone says, "Hey Cartwright, too bad Regan Miller left town, she would have shown you a real good time!" then everyone laughs and each man shares his own Regan Miller story? 😂
Right. He went to visit high profile men and Ragan being a woman of hypergamy, those are the types of men she ran with. And of course when those men get together, drinking brandy and smoking cigars, the conversation always lead to women.
@@misslucky5474 I learned a new word today- "hypergamy". Thanks 😁
@@jarrodbarkley9061 Lol. Did your mama name you Jarrod Barkley?
@@misslucky5474 no 😂
Yep. He was only visiting SF no time for??;)
Adam is the man
A reflection of the times. Can one forgive and forget, and start over. Can one change one's nature. I like how Ragan ran out to the wilderness to get a way from her citified, San Francisco ways and reputation. We never get to now what that "reputation" is/was only inferences. Was she just a flirt with men, a paid escort, a "party girl," a piece of furniture, a nymphomaniac. Did she realize she was wasting away for nought..... and that she did want someone to "grow old together"--- as Hoss said. The problem for her is could SHE change and accept country-life rather than city-life. Hoss is a Gentle Giant, naive, forgiving, forgetting, and loving. Adam is more reserved and analytical. Even when Hoss sees Adam kissing Ragan, he sort of harrumphs it. That he IS WILLING to go on. Good script with the two sister bickering back and forth: how their father favored the older over the younger, et. al. Ah, still a parental problem even now. Good script, acting, and theme: Forgive and Forget, and go on.
I wouldn't say a reflection of the times - whether 1860's or 2060's, human nature is human nature, but everything else you said stands.
Another great episode! yeah the ending is 👍💗💗💗
Thanks for watching! We also recommend this movie: th-cam.com/video/wPeGNkXZDDc/w-d-xo.html
I love bonanza
It's a shame all the Cartwright's had curses on them far as women were concerned 🤔!
Those weren't curses, it just happened when it did, just a plain old human act of nature but sad for the Cartwright men. Adam never had a woman who died on him like the other 3 did , he and his female friends just drifted apart and Laura ended up marrying his Cousin Will but I'm glad that out of all of the Cartwright men he never married plus his loyal legion of female fans whom watched the show didn't want that to happen either. Way to go ladies and I totally agree with you 😊👍
It's really hard to find a family like this in today's worlds. I wish I could go back to them days. Even if it's just for a little bit to experience that kind of life. Even though it was harder I still would like to experience how it was.
The Great Jeanne Cooper 😊
I didn’t recognize her even though I used to watch the Young and the Restless. So Adam kissed Mrs. Chancellor. I once saw Jeanne Cooper exhale cigarette smoke through her nose while talking.
She was great on the Young&Restless!!
Jeanne Cooper had appeared on many TV shows of the sixties and seventies. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I want Adam to hold me close and read me Shakespeare ( I HATE SHAKESPEARE) while we lay in the grass having a lovely lunch☺☺🥰
I would want him to play his guitar and sing love song to me. LOL
Adam has a good head on his shoulders concerning women in general. Hoss would have been miserable had he went on to marry that Jezebel.
Emily and Reagan are good sisters and this story is about them. Dan Blocker has given outstanding performance. Fantastic episode. Western Classics.❤❤❤😊😊
Im just saying, Adam let that kiss happen
He let that kiss happen so that Hoss could see firsthand that Regan was not the right woman for him.
She’s so gorgeous just wow 😲 but not loyal , Not good at all for person honest and loyal like Hoss is 😊
She's not gorgeous at all.
27.56 Adam is such a wise and great guy. I am almost falling in love with him.
Dudes dead
Ragan loved Hoss just a little bit or she would never have told him the truth... That she didn't love him enough.
Yeah, some girls are so sleazy, they ain’t willing to even do that.
It also can happen the other way around. Had a boyfriend, helped him throuh the toughest two years of his life with everything he could ask for, then he told me: Thanks for all your efforts, but in fact, I don't love you at all.
agree.
37:39 (Ragan to Hoss about Adam) - "I couldn't stop him. You can see that." (Hoss) - "I know." LOL In the words of the great Al Bundy, "Love isn't just blind, it's stupid."
How dare she slap the beautiful face of Adam?
He insulted her
@@nuez23747He didn't insult her, he was just reminding her as to just what type of woman she really was, she thought that she could get over on him but it didn't work, so she was just wasting her time, she just couldn't handle the gospel truth that's all
For Reals!! Ahhh Handsome Adam 💘
Its a great episode but Hoss was 100% gonna murder Adam with his fists if he hadn't been interrupted by Ben and Joe.
Hoss was always pretty naive when it came to women and Joe was nothing but a skirt chaser
Oh how I enjoyed seeing this episode! I never saw it before. THANK YOU SO MUCH. My day is much happier now.
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy we made your day, thanks for tuning in! 🤠👌🍿🎬

Μadeline Ray I am sad
@@georgcorfu Hello. Please let me know why are you sad.
One of those episodes of one of those shows to engage undivided, and just let the fine performances of intensity and of the sublime envelope, and no choice but then to enjoy the ride, yessir.
Oh lordy,Gena Rowlands. Absolutely stunning looking woman and great actress
I love Hoss! I could not stand seeing him hurt in several episodes by different women......miss u Teddy Bear
They never told us what happened in san fransisscooo!!! 😤😭
Don't you have an imagination?😄😄😄
I think she looked more like an escort or call girl. She was beautiful and dressed nice and elegant. More like what the rich men want.
Thanks for uploading
I noted Hoss and Joe easily blinded by love and wouldnt listen to the truth of the girls they ❤.
The Ponderosa is this huge ranch and yet bunkhouse is so near to the main house they can hear the fighting
Superb episode. I love it when Bonanza goes beyond the ideal family a la Cowboys safety. Some intrigate, emotional depths here. The David Rose orchestration is pure 1950s/60s Percy Faith. I loved his atonal piano better. Anyway, great episode.
Thanks for watching!
She was so used to men falling for her. Her "Ego" couldn't take that Adam didn't fall for her like every other man. Her character reminds me of a " Marilyn Monroe" character. Her father didn't show her love so she used her beauty to get love from men but they only used her as a play thing or some object to make themselves look better than what they were. Adam loved his brother he didn't even fight back and let Hoss beat him up. Hoss would never believe anything about her. She had to show him what kind of woman she truly was. You can lie to others but you can't lie to yourself for long
Hoss was my cuddly man like a bear, Adam was my hot and smart one in which I love about a man and Joe my romantic man. They all have the qualities I love. Ben not bad himself, he was handsome but I love his devotion for his boys over any woman. Nobody come between Ben and his sons.
Hoss was a handsome man, too!
@@Squirrel36 Yes he was but he looks like a good cuddly bear.
Oh wow Gena Rowlands is beautiful
This episode touch my heart too!
Meet today, marriage proposal next week. Aaaaaah, isn't it wonderful!
Hoss is so desperate lol.
@@jasonmichael3676 and he doesn't need to be. Big and handsome with good manners
2 or 3 days in little Joe's case😄
Joe was girl crazy🙂
True
I about died when Hoss saw Adam kissing her, I'm like, oh Adam 😩😫😓😞😣😖😱
actually, Reagan was to blame for kissing him. Adam didn't pursue her.
Definitely in my top 5 bonanza episodes. And the actress in this was gorgeous
Rest In Peace Ms Gena Rowlands🕊️😢
Great episode and acting!
I feel like I’m the only young girl who likes bonanza
Bonanza is a program that was and is ageless!! All ages can watch this show it had a lot of messages for all people. Each episode was entertaining and sometimes a teaching lesson about people honor and respectability! The show was and will continue to be one of the best tv shows ever to enter a viewer's home no matter the person's age!!!
I’m a young lady too! Glad to see I’m not alone!
@@andreadesalvo3000 that was true spoken words from the start till the end .
Your not alone. I like bonanza very much and I am young too
Im a 16 year old girl and I watch it since Im 8😂just love it
Hoss and Reagan have so little in common. It would never have worked out.
Hoss is the soul of patience, lol.
This is the second episode I saw recently where Adam put the kibosh on Hoss's love interest. Hoss needs to start listening to his older brother instead of beating him up!
Hoss is a Gentle Giant! So sad He was trying to Marry a Ho.
Poor naive Hoss!!!!!
Mrs Chancellor Y&R - look how young and pretty she was!!!
Shockingly beautiful eyes!
It saddens me to see Hoss lose whenever it comes to romance. 😔
Sometimes, It's hard to watch these episodes and not think of Battle Star Galactica 1979. Gosh "Ben Cartwright" was also great as "Adama" and then once my mind get's drifting into outer space while watching Ben doing this thing with his sons I think of that hotsy totsy eye candy doughter "Athena" of his (I use to have a Jr high boy crush on)..and OK ok ok back down the Ponderosa and lil Joe and Adam and this Western that came with them.
Geese, what a mix up seeing these Ha ha ha ha Battle Star Bonanzas!
:)
When I was a little girl I wanted to marry Hoss …. I still do 😇Dan was the anchor that held Bonanza sh own for all those years…
Am 70 yrs and live in EU. Watch bonanza rerun after rerun. And now bonanza available in HD even better
People love BONANZA, and always pointe out things that make little sense.
The Ponderosa is one thousand square MILES.
A few episodes ago Ben told a lady in the wagon they would be to the Ponderosa in a few hours. If Virginia City was a few hours by wagon the lake would have been a full days ride in a carriage but they were always taking pretty girls out there. The sheer size of the place yet they were forever back and forth to Virginia City or the lake like it was a five minute ride has always been amusing.
@@robsnyder2351 Thanks for the hearty laugh. It's true.
Can't believe GR was a "special guest" back in 63!? What was she known 4 so long ago? Of course, many years later won Oscar won as BSA pretty amazing the list of greats that were on this show. Look up the writers & directors too! Amazing
I know this is only a show, But it has some real life warnings.
I only wish i had watched these show with my parents and really took it in what was happening, sure would have saved me and a million others a world of hurt as adults.
My heart hurts for Emilia.
Nice ....
Jeanne Cooper one of the best female actresses in western films.
I never knew that Gena Rowlands was that attractive
Hoss, asked no questions, he just started swinging.....that’s a mistake in real life. GET THE FACTS FIRST. 😎
Yeah, that just showed his immaturity.
Yes, I agree. I can understand Hoss being angry, but I hated seeing him continue to hit Adam when he wouldn't even let him explain!
Hoss's character in the shows episodes was usually great. But when it came to women, he could sometimes be a real naive knucklehead.
@@billh.5360right, just like when he wanted to marry the woman that had a gambling problem. He punched both Adam and Joseph. The writers created Hoss to be too naïve for a grown man; but I do enjoy his other characteristics.
I didn't know Gina Rowland was so beautiful.
Absolutely stunning woman. Check out the Columbo episode she played in.
Beautiful and talented actress.
@@keithmadden9260 I don't think that she's stunning at all.
@@yvonnem.langlois5197 I don't think that she's beautiful at all.
@Leon Powe. I don't think that she's beautiful at all!
Ce frumos! 🥰😇
Hoss and adam got into a fist fight
Adam didn’t fight him back.
Gena Rowlands looked very different back then than she is now. I hardly recognized her. Anyway, another Hollywood A-list guest star in "Bonanza"
Gina Roland was pretty... but I really wished that the role was played by Dawn Wells instead. She was/still is a real beauty.😃
According to the description of the plot in this episode, this was broadcast in SEPTEMBER 1963 and it's the beginning of the 5th season. Simple math tells you that if you subtract 5 from 63, you get 58. Therefore, the first season started in September 1958- not September 1959. The 14th and last season started in September 1972 and ended in May 1973.
Season 5 minus Season 1 (5-1) = 4. So September 1963 - 4 years = September 1959, when Bonanza started. Another way to think of it is that there's been 4 seasons plus 1 episode, so at this point Bonanza had been going for 4 years. S1 59-60, S2 60-61, S3 61-62, S4 62-63 S5 63-64.
@@neilwaldock6272 Your comment doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Just explaining that you don't subtract 5. You subtract 4, because at the beginning of Season 5, you've only had 4 seasons so far. Think of it this way, on the 1st of May (the 5th month, the same as having the 5th season), how many months of the year have you had so far? 4 (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr) plus 1 day, not 5. So that's why working backwards we know Bonanza started in 1959, which it did, not 1958. Anyway, none of it matters, just continue to enjoy watching the episodes as we all do. Have a great day!
@@neilwaldock6272 You are very bad in math. The first season started in September 1958. It ended in May 1959. The series lasted for 14 seasons. Therefore, the last season started in September 1972 and it ended in May 1973. Dan Blocker died in 1972. "Bonanza" was only on for one more season after he died. I'm through talking to you because it's obvious that it would be impossible for me to ratiocinate with you.
@@lynettepalecek3141 Have a great day!
Jeanne Cooper of The Young and Restless (Katherine Chancellor). Her son is, Corbin Bernsen. Gena Rowlands, who is still with us, and her famous family in the biz. Both actors in the same episode spanning careers of six and seven decades. 🎉
What wonderful Gene Rowland
Between this episode and the last one it's pretty clear that the writers and producers don't know much women folk; but then the men aren't too big on thinking outside of the ranch.
Those gas fires in the fireplace are really a distraction to us genuine campers.
Adam knew she wouldn't be attracted to a desperate goofball LOL.
Hoss wasn't a goofball. He was a decent man. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Albeit an immature man.
@@harperstacey9604 Well, let's face it. Hoss was indeed pretty naive in this episode. I'm surprised he didn't put his hands over his ears and yell "LA la la la la" when Regan tried to tell him about her past. 🙂
Lol Adam lied. He didn't try to help Hoss he just wanted a taste of her pie.
😂
Haus was all loved up by that sireen!
Hoss. Siren.

I can understand appreciation for the characters, the themes, and the story lines of this program. I don't have any disagreement with viewers who enjoy these re-plays. I am, however, a person who notices details. I appreciate attention to detail in the areas of scenery and costumes, and I do have a problem with the 1960s style shoes on the feet of the leading lady of this episode. The actresses who pass by as the brothers load their wagon are wearing the laced, ankle -height boots of this era. The lady stepping out of the stage coach is wearing the high-heeled, extremely pointed dress shoes of the early to mid 1960s. Could be the director and the costume department wanted to show her ankles...to provide a rationale for the interest of the brothers. I think it looks strange. The decision concerning the footwear for her costume was off by about 90 years, if this is all supposed to be happening in the 1870s.
Different types of women (saloon girls, young unmarried girls, and wives) wore different types of shoes, and she was possibly a “soiled dove” and saloon girl from the larger city, San Francisco, where fashion was also more modern, which possibly could explain the pointed heels for this timeline, however, perhaps they should have used a more appropriate shoe for the timeline, but I believe they used this particular shoe to introduce her as the type of woman she was to portray in this episode.
@@CarinRutherfordCreel I am not going to agree that costuming for women was a strong point of the directors of this program. I do understand that viewers have appreciated these episodes for the themes, stories, and characters. It is probably true that very few viewers care about accuracy concerning 19th century dresses, shoes and accessories. I happen to be a person who notices. 19th century women wore low-heeled slippers for dances and special occasions. From the mid 19th century to the first decade of the 20th they wore ankle height boots for travel and for appearances during the day. This is just fact. This includes saloon girls and women on up the scale. No woman had access to severely pointed shoes with stilletto heels until the 1950s. These had not been designed. They did not exist. The quality of 19th century footwear probably differed, with only the wealthiest women ever wearing beautiful kid boots. If you look at pictures, including late 19th century photographs, you will see that the basic design was the same for everyone. Women wore lace up, ankle height boots.
I would not have agreed with policies for dressing actresses in anachronistic costumes, just for the purpose of signaling the nature of the character. Acting and writing should explain the character. Viewers with memories of Michael Landon's appearances on talk shows remember that even he had problems with the anachronisms present in episodes of Bonanza. Whatever a viewer might think concerning the program which he directed, it's noticeable that he insisted on accuracy in the area of 19th century costumes. While I must say that I would find re-plays of those "Prairie" episodes absolutely unwatchable, I would give Michael Landon credit for his concern with accuracy. Glaring inaccuracies detract from characterizations, in my opinion This is all that I'm going to say. Thank you for your comment.
I agree that they are out of place. If I directed this, and I knew that scene wouldn't be possible without using stiletto heels, I would have found another way for the woman to get the Cartwright's attention. Early on I noticed the shoes of the saloon girls and I asked myself, "Did those shoes exist back then?" But, as you mentioned, you can understand the appreciation for characters, themes, and storylines. I appreciate those elements so much that I just shrugged off the inaccuracy. But, yeah I noticed that as well.
@@yougetagoldstar thank you for your comment. This program was so tightly scripted, and so carefully cast, directed, and produced that it seems likely that the costuming of the women reflects the producers' understanding of prevailing(1960s) attitudes concerning women. The other glaring costume mistake of this program concerns the exposure of the top half of breasts, and not just in the saloon scenes. Real women of the 1860s, visiting in houses and appearing out in public, were buttoned and lace-collared up to their chins. Producers and directors of this show probably knew this. They just had their ideas for keeping a television audience interested. The costuming of the male principals is also incorrect, as they are always wearing belts at a level not considered to be correct for men until the 1940s. Mid 19th century pants were more high waisted, and in general they were kept up high with suspenders. The costumer's use of belts, further down on the waist, was probably for the purpose of helping these actors to look more attractive to 1960s viewers. From the point of view of a person watching re-plays in the 21st century, this is all really too bad, because this program had some definite strengths, in the areas of casting, direction and acting. 1960s fashion trends injected into so many of the scenes, distract from stories and scenes which are otherwise very intense and interesting. We can see now that this was an interesting program, even without all of that anachronistic breast tissue on display. High heeled shoes are just distractions from some fine writing and acting.
It is interesting, viewing these mid-20th century episodes in the 21st century. And I have enjoyed the comments, with each replay. There seems to be more appreciation, in our time now, for the character of Adam, and for the actor who played this part. I believe it would be correct to say that back in the 1960s Michael Landon was generally considered to be the star of stars, and the most important actor of this series. It is easier to see now that Adam was a fascinating character. He was a philosopher and a gunman...he had the mind of an engineer and the knowledge of a self-taught lawyer. He was the most like his father, of the three, and was also the son who was willing to express disagreement with his father. The actor who played this part made his character believable. In terms of acting, he out-shone the other four principals. Michael Landon seems a bit overwhelmed, and maybe out-classed, in the scenes in which they appear together. Producers who schemed and manipulated to hold onto Pernell Roberts knew what they were doing. He was holding this series together. Thank you for your very interesting comment.
Bonanza,which I love, like the original Star Trek was definitely about pandering to the male gaze. That's part of why I love both shows, the beauty of the women and the styles.
Poor dumb Hoss he would get eaten alive by today's women 😂
Hoss and I are suckers - and that makes us lucky!
Poor Hoss, struck by lightening. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Why does Hoss always pick the Loser women?
