Tate - Volume 2: 4-Episode Collection (MOD) (DVD Movie)

Tate is a Civil War veteran whose arm was paralyzed and now must make his living roaming the Old West as a bounty hunter. This obscure TV series, which aired on NBC from June 8 to September 14, 1960, features the first handicapped protagonist in television history, predating the leads in later series such as Ironside (1967) and Longstreet (1971). Star David McLean is best remembered for playing The Marlboro Man in numerous print and television ads of the era. Tate showcased several actors who would find success on their own later in the 1960s, including Robert Redford and Robert Culp. Series originator Harry Julian Fink was also the creator of Dirty Harry (1971).
