If you were first exposed to television as a child in the early 1950s when your parents bought their first set, you probably saw the words "directed by Paul Landres" on the screen several times a week. His name became familiar by sheer repetition on the end credits of episode after episode of what youngsters were watching in those days: The Cisco Kid, Boston Blackie, The Lone Ranger, Sky King, Cowboy G-Men, and Ramar of the Jungle. Francis M. Nevins grew to know Landres' name then, and later in his life when he watched other series directed by him-Westerns including The Rifleman and Bonanza and detective shows like 77 Sunset Strip and Hawaiian Eye. Nevins had the pleasure of later meeting Paul Landres and was able to tap into his memories, insights, and professional knowledge to create this enjoyable biographical account. This book is organized as a sort of prose documentary, with Landres' reminiscences interspersed with Nevin's own narration. Includes photos and a filmography.
