Command western TV series episode pilot starring Everett Sloane, Ben Cooper and Louis Jean Heydt. This is the pilot episode of a suggested TV series titled Command from 1958. This is episode 17 of The Forsaken Westerns, an original TV series produced by Westerns On The Web Productions. In this episode Everett Sloane stars as Captain Brittles, a U.S. Cavalry officer. Along with Sloane there is Ben Cooper as Lt. Cohill. These are two characters straight out of the 1949 John Ford western movie “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” starring John Wayne and John Agar in these parts. This is the only known existing episode of this series. It’s a shame, it looks like this could have been a good series bringing Duke’s cavalry character to the small screen. It is a miracle that there is any copy of this film at all. The Forsaken Westerns series contains episodes of TV shows that were never broadcast or have not been broadcast in as many as 65 years. Almost lost forever, these rare television film treasures are now being released and uploaded for free viewing from the http://www.westernsontheweb.com archive collection.
