What is Rawhide????

Question

the TV show. I have heard of it but don't know what it is about.

Answer 1

It was a western. The series ran for eight seasons on the CBS network, from January 9, 1959 to January 4, 1966. The typical Rawhide story involved drovers, portrayed by Eric Fleming (Trail Boss Gil Favor) and Clint Eastwood (Rowdy Yates), coming upon people on the trail and getting drawn into solving whatever problem they presented or were confronting. Sometimes one of the members of the cattle drive or some of the others would venture into a nearby town and encounter some trouble or other from which they needed to be rescued. Some of the stories were obviously easier in production terms but the peak form of the show was convincing and naturalistic, and sometimes brutal. Its situations could range from parched plains to anthrax, ghostly riders to wolves, cattle rustlers, bandits, murderers, and so forth. Rawhide launched the career of Clint Eastwood.

Answer 4

This show was on when I was a kid - in the 60's it starred CLint Eastwood when he was young and not bad looking. It was a cattle drive - in the wild west days. So they were moving the cattle from the ranch to the market with theproblems along the way, rustlers, indians etc. It was pretty good and I am sure i saw it on the current line up on tvland channel. Clint Eastwoods character was Rowdy Yates if I remember correctly. good luck -k-

Answer 5

Back in the REAL olden days, they used to take cattle to slaughter by running them on established trails. This is exactly what Rawhide is about. Cattle drives. Sound boring? Don't you believe it.

Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) was the scout for a group of
'drovers' headed by a man named Gil Favor. (Eric Fleming played the character.)

They had numerous interesting encounters on these cattle drives.
