If at first you don't succeed in a pilot, try it again until it does succeed. A few years ago, I watched the actual pilot of the "Alias Smith and Jones" TV series which I gave a decent review to outside of a few minor flaws, and come to find that it had been tried out earlier with the same stars (Pete Deul and Roger Davis) with Deul still a Smith, but Davis having a completely different surname. Perhaps the generic title didn't interest network executives who passed on it, but it's an okay, if not continuable, story.
Top billed Walter Brennan gets the top spot simply because of his legendary status (anyone with three Oscars is legendary, no matter how undeserved they were), but it's Deul and Davis who really star, and Wally Cox and Joan Havkett major support while Brennan is simply just an extended cameo. Cox robs a bank and Deul and Davis try to get their hands on the money which has been hidden. Hackett plays a pretty but pesky young woman, always distracting Deul and Davis with demands and questions. This has light humor that didn't really make me laugh (just grin on occasion), and overall, it's just your average, typically predictable movie of the week.
