    Not as Bad as Some
    I actually thought they did a pretty good job of melding two different episodes of the Virginian into one film with two concurrent stories. They didn't run one episode after another but interwove scenes from the two episodes to make it seem like they were occuring at the same point in time. I was impressed how they took brief clips of Charles Bronson riding and shooting and standing and made it look like he was joining in the attempt to divert a cattle stampede and standing with others watching Brian Keith die when Bronson wasn't in that episode. Others commenting here say the acting is bad, but it was the acting of the day and the cast, including Lee J. Cobb, Bronson, Keith, George Kennedy, Lois Nettleson, Doug McClure and James Drury is pretty impressive.
