The plot in The Convict was excellent. Some of the best writers in television wrote the series episodes for my favorite, all-time war classic, Combat! Simply superb!
The one that wrecked his train in Mississippi, yes. Steaming and a rolling. It was a long time ago. Teacher told us to go home, and come back the next day with a song. You guessed it ! I had everyone rolling, not the teacher.
Gilbert Roland. Suave sexy gentlemen. Great actor. Love his style his swagger. I love all of his movies. I don’t like people who rob others. They are dispicable. Love his voice.nobody’s gonna bury him?
Anyone notice the old engineer was shooting at them with a Colt single action army or clone thereof? I love to look for weapons details & as a kid loved this series, thanks for bringing back memories!
Chasing krauts around the same farms and villages over and over.....I sometimes expect to see a kraut jump out from hiding in the same place he did 20 episodes ago.
I liked this one. Roland is a cagey dude but THE SARGE has been around the block a few times too. A dangerous man like Gilbert should have been sent to devils island. Story shows even slimy dudes have some good in them.
Interesting to note , Jack Hogan , had stated that Roland was a health fanatic . Eating only a special diet , and followed a strict fitness schedule . Jack said , that Roland looked rather good for his age , Roland , apparently , began his career during the "Silent Era" ...........
+CapnHawk There were M7s in a couple of episodes prior to this one, but only a couple. Like magazine changes, carrying extra ammo, and some other (minor) things, they are used only when the plot calls for it. Still a great series.
what your are doing for us now France will never forget. By the 1950s a pole of French citizens showed they had a more favorable view of Germany than the U. S. So much for saving them in two world wars and rebuilding their country.
touring normandy june 2019 every village / hamlet had a memorial and they all had us flags and flowers and they all said thanks for liberating them from nazis...
Combat made sense, for all the technical flaws. Then came Vietnam, and Westmoreland, and every fight an ambush and a body count. Our military restored itself (Iraq). And now this.
Joint chief milley a traitor. Colin Powell a disgrace. We need to clean house. Nut there were issues during WWII as well. FDR was a socialist, as was Wilson. Truman was as bad as the current occupant of the white house. Make no mistake. We are a country divided. Those who work hard, believe in God and the constitution. And then there are socialists who want to "fundamentally change America "
Back when a career criminal was considered "an enemy of France". Today, a career criminal is really a good person, never harmed anyone, just did it because he was poor.
Do they ever show the M7 grenade launcher attachment being used on this show? According to Wikipedia three of the attachments were issued to every rifle squad. No good resistance fighter would pass up a chance to stock up on more ammo.
Actually in real life that would have been easy the German's backs were to the machine gun and their concealment was in front of them so they would have been fairly easy targets. My cousin I joined up with had a similar incident between NVA and our troops when a ZPU quad opened up on his unit instead of aircraft because they were caught by surprise by the patrol. Two US soldiers flanked the ZPU and killed the gunner. Then used the weapon against the NVA. When we met in Japan he and I had a good laugh over the incident because we had both seen it on COMBAT! while in high school

I remember Gilbert Roland from the Sackett movie in 1979 with Sam Elliot, Tom Selleck, and Glenn Ford. He was also on a great Bonanza episode. He was 60 by the time this episode was made but of course they made him look younger. Makeup can do wonders.
Luis Antonio Dámaso de Alonso (December 11, 1905 - May 15, 1994), known professionally as Gilbert Roland, was a Mexican-born American film and television actor whose career spanned seven decades from the 1920s until the 1980s. Roland was born in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, and originally intended to become a bullfighter like his father and his paternal grandfather. When Pancho Villa took control of their town, Roland and his family fled to the United States. He lived in Texas until at age 14 he hopped on a freight train and went to Hollywood. After arriving there, he found menial jobs and slept in a Catholic church. He often lost those jobs because he spent time working as an extra in films. He chose his screen name by combining the names of his favorite actors, John Gilbert and Ruth Roland. He was often cast in the stereotypical Latin lover role.
It'd being the confusion weather the man that'd being met was the runaway convict that'd being disgusted by the clothes he'd being stolen from the old man.
The tip off is all the Eucalyptus trees in the foreground with the drooping leaves. Production was mostly shot in southern and central California. Another tip off is the lined cement canals, the lakes amd reserviors, and rolling hills vinyards. Robert at 69.
There were some Euro revolvers that resembled the SAA. Some were SAs, some DAs, some solid frame, some swing-out, some pull-pin. Could've happened but yeah looks like an SAA to me too.
I like all the interplay between the characters. I really like this series but with all the shooting only the Germans died. Come on! Oops I forgot one resistance got shot and the "convict" died.
John Wright A few episodes back James Whitmore played a German soldier masquerading as a priest. He stabs two of Saunders' men to death, including one who had come to him for confession.
@@TheEvilDrR reread it my friend (although wiki isn't my choice for facts as it is written by us) the definition of a pistol is a single shot handgun (think pirate) or a single shot fed by a magazine.

Yes, I was relieved when LeMay finally said he was running out of ammo. And of course, they're all like jerking their weapons when they pull the trigger as some hollywood fellows who are unfamiliar with shooting have been known to do. What was with that BAR man? And then there's that little issue that you can really tell it's California in this one. Or Australia. I have to laugh seeing the eucalyptus because the only eucalyptus seen in WWII was in the PTO.

love watching these shows , especially with no ads !!!!
Toujours la meilleure série de guerre.
Absolutely.
The music they play at the end, before they show the cast, always gets to me!
Classic opening theme.
Another throat tightening episode! Fantastic!
The plot in The Convict was excellent. Some of the best writers in television wrote the series episodes for my favorite, all-time war classic, Combat! Simply superb!
Seems a bit far fetched
Very good story!!
Well said.
A very good episode actually. But " Combat," beginning to show the strain of its longevity. But it will always be the classic war series. Unbeatable.
Show of hands who still remembers Casey Jones?🌟💯
Which Casey Jones ?
The one that wrecked his train in Mississippi, yes. Steaming and a rolling.
It was a long time ago. Teacher told us to go home, and come back the next day with a song.
You guessed it ! I had everyone rolling, not the teacher.
@@caddothegreat That's the one!🙂
driving that train high on cocaine.....
WOW IT FEEL REAL GOOD TO SEE THE .MOVIE COMBAT AND SEEING THE TWO MAIN ACTOR
Gilbert Roland always plays a exelent scoundrel.
Every man has a conscience... Besides, 'It's never too late to mend'. I liked this episode.
40 years ago i was viwing combat tv series thanks
40 years ago they were reruns. The series is 60 years old.
Sarge great at math. He solves the algebra equation with only one of the variables.
Because he is...Super Saunders!
Another good one a man redeems himself.
Gilbert Roland, fine actor, long career.
He narrated That deadly Tower movie !975!
Gilbert Roland. Suave sexy gentlemen. Great actor. Love his style his swagger. I love all of his movies. I don’t like people who rob others. They are dispicable. Love his voice.nobody’s gonna bury him?
10:06 Kirby turns up & says " Well what are you gonna do with Casey Jones here " ! Classic line. I love it.
The writers scripted Kirby well, lol.
He was a Chicago guy.
That was a good throw with a stick grenade (potato masher) threw a small slit on the half track
Anyone notice the old engineer was shooting at them with a Colt single action army or clone thereof? I love to look for weapons details & as a kid loved this series, thanks for bringing back memories!
Favorite COMBAT! theme: scoundrel redeems himself by a heroic death.
It's funny how "in the movies" a stab in the back brings instant death. They should visit one of Chicago's trauma centers.
The military you're trained to go for the liver and that is an instant kill
Kind of interesting, after watching enough episodes one can recognize the areas from previous movies.
they reuse footage, sound tracking..weapons, and everyone in france must wear a beret.
Chasing krauts around the same farms and villages over and over.....I sometimes expect to see a kraut jump out from hiding in the same place he did 20 episodes ago.
I love that they seem to include that steep bank in every episode.
It was filmed on MGM's backlogs in California.
@@Mrfrenchdeux I
I think it's funny how the passing German trucks always stop right in front of Saunders and Co.while they are trying to hide.
Chris Craft Aint it the truth. Stop here, i smell gunpowder residue. Must be Saunders & company.
Oh that's not true, it's usually a motorcycle with a sidecar haha
It's a meme.
@@lsusmuggler
.
There is always room for redemption.
that rusty barrel stove the kid's hiding behind, wouldn't stop a .22

Yep. If you mash 'em hard enough.
These were well written stories
I love 60's TV. If the guy has a mustache, he's guaranteed to be a criminal LOL. Great show.
Gilbert Roland wore
the same moustache in the Frank Langella Zorro movie
Interesting to note , Jack Hogan , had stated that Roland was a health fanatic . Eating only a special diet , and followed a strict fitness schedule . Jack said , that Roland looked rather good for his age , Roland , apparently , began his career during the "Silent Era" ...........
Dude was sixty when this was filmed. Amazing.
@@robertmannel4446 59.
Gilbert Roland is one of my favorite actors.
In the end his conscience, and love for his son, overcame his defected character and he died a hero.
I specifically recall one episode where Kirby was carrying an M1 Garand and used an M7 grenade launcher.
CapnHawk Kirby doesn't get the BAR until the squad has gone through a couple of BAR men.
+CapnHawk There were M7s in a couple of episodes prior to this one, but only a couple. Like magazine changes, carrying extra ammo, and some other (minor) things, they are used only when the plot calls for it. Still a great series.
best show ever

They did help us in the Revolutionary War.
touring normandy june 2019 every village / hamlet had a memorial and they all had us flags and flowers and they all said thanks for liberating them from nazis...
Why are French boulevards lined with trees?
So every couple decades, the Germans can march IN THE SHADE.
Another good episode.
Combat made sense, for all the technical flaws. Then came Vietnam, and Westmoreland, and every fight an ambush and a body count. Our military restored itself (Iraq). And now this.

Nice knife throwing
hollywood has many great throwers..

No good resistance fighter would pass up a chance to stock up on more ammo.
+Mishawaka Post they do in episode S3 Ep 17, they talk about rifle grenades a fairly good amount in this show I've noticed.
Several episodes had them using rifle frag and AT grenades. Gotta love 'em - the sqaddies' mortar.
The Lt. gets a PH for being wounded in combat.
Amazing how the crook could shoot the machine gun and the trained Kraut could not hit anything!
Actually in real life that would have been easy the German's backs were to the machine gun and their concealment was in front of them so they would have been fairly easy targets.

Didn't notice that someone else had the same thought as I did.
Why do I love this series so much but I can't stand watching any thing of today's tv shits and I am young because it's perfect.
So Roland knifes the Kraut then wipes the bloody knife on his own clothes. Duh...
GILBERT ROLAND/FERNANDO LAMAS/RICARDO MONTALBAN ALL DID A COMBAT !!!
Traveling noisily if convict heard them that far in advance. Not believable for this squad.
I remember Gilbert Roland from the Sackett movie in 1979 with Sam Elliot, Tom Selleck, and Glenn Ford. He was also on a great Bonanza episode. He was 60 by the time this episode was made but of course they made him look younger. Makeup can do wonders.
He was a Gypsy in Bonanza, right?
It was funny that the Frenchman drew his knife too easily from the dead German sniper's back.

Love the firefight near the end.
Boy, thats 1 knife throwing Frenchman S.O.B!..LOL!..Robert at 69 who grew up on Combat.
what's the deal hanley & saunders never carry a canteen..?? who goes out on a patrol / mission without water..??
They should make a modern day combat series.
Snowflakes would object. LOL
sgt fury and his howling commandos....
Yes. It's sad they probably couldn't make it happen.
@mikeo8890 They definitely should NOT.
Una de mis series favoritas en mi infancia
kinda weird that they don't move up in rank at least one stripe
Not a good idea discussing battle plan in front of a convict.
Nice contrail in one scene.
Prop planes make contrails too.
Chemical contrail as the government fumigates us in the atmosphere the last 25 years.
Watch from 23:51. This could be the original Jedi moment of all time!
And still no closer to Paris!
Pierre got himself a Garand.
Por favor nosé ingles pero si estás series me gustan son lo mejor que evisto
Very Nice
The character of Saunders would have made an excellent police detective in peacetime. And my husband 😊😊
It'd being the confusion weather the man that'd being met was the runaway convict that'd being disgusted by the clothes he'd being stolen from the old man.
Lt. says,”My map? “. Isn’t it our map Lt. ?
Maps compass glasses are given to the officer in charge
Whenever I've had to grab a map from a 2LT to straighten shit out, I've reffered to it as "the" map.
Can anyone notice the white stripe thing in the sky when the convict just about to take the German machine gun?
Prop planes make contrails too.
I think that the Lt. meant 13:00hrs tmrw.😆😆
Why 1300?
Kirby's spray and pray method of wasting ammunition. Why does the U.S. side never have enough ammo. And the endless clips.
Nit picking
Love the Casey Jones reference .
29:11 Not advisable to turn your back on these two, Saunders.
Was this episode filmed in Mississippi? This place could never be France or any part of Europe. Anyway a good episode.
California, of course.
@@TheEvilDrR Ok. It was only irony, a joke. Thanks!
@@laurobuddy8694 Poe's Law, buddy. You never know any more.

watch him throw his helmet at 42:31 LOL
Knife throwing is VERY inaccurate. Never disarm yourself.
Right just leave dad to rot wtf
So he wasn't a chicken after all
Good one
15:50 "What you do for us now, France will never forget." They may not forget but they sure ignore it. Pfui!
And so all the flags we've planted on the moon have become sun-bleached white. Great - now it looks like the French have been there.
@7:34,& 7:48 He is using a Colt Single Action. In the middle of France? Gimmie a break.
Yeah, evidently the writers took dramatic license
@@William_sJazzLoft Undoubtedly, but I still like the series.
Patton carried two ivory handled Colts in Europe.
There were some Euro revolvers that resembled the SAA. Some were SAs, some DAs, some solid frame, some swing-out, some pull-pin. Could've happened but yeah looks like an SAA to me too.
@@williamhiles7404 One SAA and one S&W.
Why would you wipe the blood on your own pants?
Not smart
Miss Manners sez: "always wipe blood from your bayonet on the OTHER guy's clothes."
Drama at it`s best...….
German tactics are as bad as stormtroopers from Star Wars and their shooting is as bad as well.
I like all the interplay between the characters.
I really like this series but with all the shooting only the Germans died. Come on!
Oops I forgot one resistance got shot and the "convict" died.
John Wright A few episodes back James Whitmore played a German soldier masquerading as a priest. He stabs two of Saunders' men to death, including one who had come to him for confession.
Replacements often get killed.
They jump up and charge and die. Never wounded.
@@mishawakapost2681 he stabbed the neck . Maybe knew where major artery was
Some krout soup !
20 yards from a kneeling position?
expert
Why not if your proficient
Knife won’t kill instantly like that.
And a club to the back of Saunders helmet wont knock him out.
It's a tv show. But I'm glad we have an expert like you to help us.
How do you know? Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. Stop nitpicking.
At 8:30 that is not a pistol it is a revolver they are both handguns but a pistol is never a revolver and a revolver is never a pistol.
That's nowadays
A pistol is a handgun. A revolver IS a pistol, but not all pistols are revolvers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol

COL Colt called it a "revolving pistol", so...
39:20 Where did the kid get an M1 from? He was handed a Mauser.
42:16 it switches back to a Mauser, then 43:00 back to M1 Garand.
Oopsies
At that range too much spray and pay. Should have been more aimed hits and conserve ammo. Oh well, it is a movie.
Yes, I was relieved when LeMay finally said he was running out of ammo. And of course, they're all like jerking their weapons when they pull the trigger as some hollywood fellows who are unfamiliar with shooting have been known to do. What was with that BAR man? And then there's that little issue that you can really tell it's California in this one. Or Australia. I have to laugh seeing the eucalyptus because the only eucalyptus seen in WWII was in the PTO. Unless they had plantations in Italy somewhere. Still and all though, this is one of the best episodes I've seen for excitement and action.
Watch Rick Jason handle the weapon compared to the others.. He grew up hunting as a kid & knows what he's doing.
Where did they get all these bombed out towns??
From German shelling
German its not nice to through helmets at people
Muy bien gracias por acordarse de estos programas aber si las pu den pasar en español
Since when does Germany have eucalyptus tree/ forrests
Maybe Italy but not
Germany !
All people has good conscience even convict. They do bad as convict bcos they have sufferrings also that made them like that.
