"Captain Freedom" has directed several films starring a waterboy.

Tried a PM, but got no response. Would like a ruling from donjw:
A 1957-59 TV series (Western) was named "26 MEN". (That referred to the manpower of the Arizona Rangers at the time period portrayed.} That number would be useful to this Thread at this point.
Question for danjw: Is it acceptable to use TV titles in this game? A ruling from the Thread creator would be appreciated.

Couple of bottom-rung operatives. Second cousins or something like that. "That's like twin brothers to the Irish."

lavender, I'm having similar trouble working the clues on that thread about TVMs. Ask.Com led me to a breakthrough on your question, I think. Let me try.
Gloria Grahame had the royal lineage, the Oscar, and the father-and-son marriages. Co-guest star Shirley Knight had the Oscar nominations. // 7 Apr. 1964 episode The Homecoming. Series *The Fugitive* is already revealed.
If I'm right, open the Thread. I'm working a couple of other plots right now.

Early in his career, "Captain Freedom" had a support role in a film about a family discovering their son was gay -- at a time when that was a fresh and daring subject. He played the roommate of the youth in question. Later in his career, he played the nerdy father of a nerdy teen who tried to buy love (actualy, buy popularity).

The killer in this scene has received five Oscar nominations. The victim has won an Oscar, and has been nominated on two other occasions.

Back from page 3. No rationale to call it anything but an abandoned question and an abandoned Thread. ((19,377)
Next up: The local Wiseguy honcho runs a small bar where he holds court over the neighborhood Family folk. Keeps a dangerous looking bulldog on hand as a persuader. A couple of underlings stage a revolt and are creating a ruckus. Bulldog comes snarling to the door. One desperate man turns and shouts at him. Bulldog hesitates, backs down, goes under a table and lays his chin on his paws.
Early 1980s.

Correct, stick. A name not cast-listed, but used by others to address that character. The American sailors adapted the form of address that the Chinese locals used for him. I was sort of hoping that the post would come to the attention of the member with the username JakeHolman.

On the money, skipper. Brian Keith as the gunslinger who hired out to the Land Grant honcho after he fell for the man's sister (Rita Gam). He was a Texan, and these new people showing up here were Yankees; no problem. Rick Jason as the land baron of the title who married an American widow and became thoroughly Americanized. -- His oldest son died serving at Gettysberg. The Gam character became a nun after the death of her brother's pistolero, and the final conversation takes place at their graveside.
There is an audience for this story but it seems to be mostly abroad. Amazon has DVDs only in the Range 2 foremat. TCM has a quite detailed synopsis of the film (even makes reference to the tricky gunplay). That seems the most likely source to get to see the film. I've asked for it on "request a movie", and would appreciate any added voices to this request.
Good work. mudskipper's thread.

Historical setting of this story: California, before the gold strike. Conflict: the expectations of the newly-arrived settlers from the East vs the origional Spanish land grants. Hired gunmen on both sides and cross-conflict romances.
