Have Gun Will Travel Tidbits

Paladin (Richard Boone) is a West Point educated gentleman with a taste for fine wines and foods. Based at the Hotel Carlton in San Francisco, he was a man for hire.

Paladin would do anything for those in serious need. He read the newspapers from across the country and sometimes sent his calling card to those he felt might use his services as gunfighter, bodyguard or anything else that his skills could accomodate. His fee to those who could pay was $1,000.

While at the hotel, he dressed the dandy. But for work, he was a man in black.

He carried a Colt .45 revolver in a holster with a white knight (the Paladin) on it and a small derringer under his gunbelt.

Kam Tong, who usually delivered the message from a potential client, was replaced by Lisa Lu as Hey Girl for one season ('60-'61) because Tong had a more substantial role in the show The Garland Touch. He returned to HGWT when Garland failed.

Richard Boone exercised a lot of creative control on this show and his judgements paid off. HGWT ranked in the Top 4 shows for four years running - and for three of them, it placed #3 behind Wagon Train and Gunsmoke.

Gene Rodenberry polished his writing skills on this show!
