Trackdown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trackdown was a Western television series running from 1957 to 1959 that featured Robert Culp as gunslinger Hoby Gilman, a law enforcer hunting down criminals all over the west. Steve McQueen first appeared as bounty-hunter Josh Randall in an episode of this series; McQueen's own western TV series, Wanted: Dead or Alive was a spin-off of Trackdown launched the following year. Both series were brilliantly acted half-hour adult programs filmed in black and white with interesting directors; Sam Peckinpah directed some of Trackdown, while Richard Donner directed three installments of McQueen's series. Culp went on to greater fame in the TV series I Spy and the movie Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice, among dozens of other roles. The series was produced by Four Star Television.
