Rawhide is my absolut favourite series. I began to watch it one year ago and I was completely fascinated by many things. The one, that most fascinated me was Eric Fleming, the tough-as-nails trail-boss Gil Favor! He is my favourite actor by now, and I guess he will stay that for many years.
Rawhide is more realistic than many other western-series like Bonanza or Little House in the Prairie. It features the long cattle drive from San Antone to Sedalia. All the adventures, or in this case incidents, you have to persist. All the upcoming trouble you can get into.
But what made Rawhide immortal was, of course, the title song, sung by Frankie Laine, and Eric Fleming/Gil Favors' iconic lines, yelled at the end of each episode: 'Head'em up! Move'em out!'
