Free Western Series: Bonanza - Episode 116 - Song in the Dark - Incriminating scratches on cowhand Danny Morgan's arm and his penchant for riding alone through the night strumming his guitar makes him the prime suspect when a woman is found strangled the morning after witnesses heard Danny's voice singing in the dark outside her cabin. Song in the Dark Director: Don McDougall Writers: Judy George (as Judith George), George W. George Stars: Lorne Greene, Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker Genre: Western Country: USA Language: English Release Date: 13 January 1963 USA Filming Locations: Stage 17, Paramount Studios - 5555 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA Storyline: Gregory Walcott is cast as Danny Morgan, a guitar-strumming "travelling troubadour." Grateful that Danny once saved his life, Adam Cartwright returns the favor by hiring the wandering minstrel as a ranchhand. The plot thickens when Danny is accused of murdering Widow Baker, with the sole witness claiming he heard singing just as the woman was killed. It is up to Adam to prove Danny's innocence-or guilt. Incidentally, Gregory Walcott's singing was dubbed in by Pernell Roberts, who plays Adam. Reviews: "The story is powerful. A slow guitar player-ranch hand gets accused of murdering a lady in Virginia City for her money. Adam is a good friend to the ranch hand and firmly believes him innocent. There is also a part about a married man who wants to open up a church very soon. The only reason I do not give this above average, very powerfully directed ep 10 stars is that it is honestly a little uneven. How did Adam manage to get shot off his horse by the preacher-wannabe without the former getting hurt. Plus other holes. Still well-worth your viewing more than once!" Written by smithbea on IMDb.com "This Bonanza episode descends into the Gothic horror genre with a pair of performances that make your skin crawl from guest stars Edward Andrews and Gregory Walcott. Drifter Walcott is given a job at the Ponderosa after saving Pernell Roberts's life on the desert. He's a night creature which in itself is not good when you have to get up before daylight to get to work. He rides at night and sings with self accompaniment on the guitar. He sings that Red Rock Rim song almost to annoyance, but Walcott's voice is pleasing enough. But it becomes creepy when he's accused of first murdering a widow and robbing her of$10,000.00 in savings. After which he's accused of another murder this one of Virginia Christine the wife of Reverend Edward Andrews who is obsessed with building a pure church with no sinning allowed. Andrews is obsessed with having the kind of church that Jerry Falwell or John Hagee might have today given what was around in the old west to build. It's all quite a puzzle, but Adam Cartwright figures the guy that saved his life just isn't a murderer. Andrews and Walcott are worth seeing this Bonanza story for."
