Lew Ayers and Gertrude Flynn. The casting director for this episode was lucky or good, or both to land these veteran actors for "Madrid".
They open the episode with a bucolic scene of otherwise little notice on a show few people watched. Yet the performances they delivered in that scene are top notch. Professionals doing their job and doing their best ... and their best was outstanding.
In some episodes Outlaws reached into the past, and in this one they did so well. Forget that the business end of this episode makes, essentially, no sense at all ... the acting and the personal touches override that lack of logic.
Lew Ayers owns a ghost town he hopes to make a tourist attraction, and he plays a nonagenarian who watched Jonathan Grail win "the last real showdown in the West", with the loser being Ayer's father.
As the Double Eagle agency defends a range supposedly earmarked to become a nature preserve, Grail wants nothing to do with the town where he once killed a friend.
If you ever get the chance to watch this episode, don't turn it down. It's good actors at work and you'll appreciate the performances.
