Okay, cheesey summary but I felt my body temperature rise about four degrees when I realized the guest star for this episode was Pernell Roberts, playing opposite none other than Peter Breck. When the two larger-than-life hotties engaged in a fist fight, I wondered if the director had simply strived to tape the fantasy of women all across America.
Carnal interests aside, Roberts' character Madigan is charmingly hilarious as an Irish fugitive and ne'er-do-well who knocks hard heads with Nick while tacitly respecting him. The whole tamed eagle theme as an allegory to Madigan was a bit overdone, but Roberts finally has a chance to show off some fine acting, this time on a different Western.moreless

ADD TRIVIA- Goof: When Madigan goes into the mine shaft to rescue Nick, the opening is so small he is forced to crawl. Yet when he gets into that deeper part of the shaft, it appears to be flooded with natural light. Where is it coming from? It can't be from the outside, because Madigan even remarks how there "isn't even a single window" by which to disperse the darkness where they're trapped. Edit
- Goof: When Nick reaches over and grabs Madigan by the shoulder when they're at the watering trough, Nick barely has hold of Madigan's shirt and the material rips clean open. It is glaringly obvious that the fabric was already cut to make it an easy tear, thereby exposing the marks on his back. Edit
