Anecdotes
TV debut of Dub Taylor.

Wild Bill Elliott: [narrating] This is my story, but in a larger sense, it's the story of the West and of Trail City, towards which I was riding that day in June. My name is Elliott - to which some of my friends have added "Wild Bill".

This Pilot Never Takes Light

"The Marshall of Trail City" has a few worthwhile plot-points, but the weak acting and the even weaker production values do not make this program view-worthy, other than it being a curiosity as an unpicked-up pilot from the early days of television. One must kick up the point value for the show a notch or two just because of the Elliot-Taylor combo, but beyond that the primary redeemer here is that there are a number of fascinating conversations in this film (check out the several examples that one fan highlights for us elsewhere on this page). This film will likely be of interest to fans of westerns, although certainly not really essential. In summary, it is difficult for B-westerns to be made to look well-budgeted, but by comparison to this cheaply-made pilot, Bill Elliot's same-era B's look lavishly appointed!
