Jeffrey Hunter and Temple Houston: A Story of Network Television

by Glenn A. Mosley

When NBC- TV abruptly pulled The Robert Taylor Show from its fall primetime schedule in the middle of July 1963, Jeffrey Hunter's Temple Houston western series was rushed into production and into the spotlight. The cast and crew had just a few chaotic weeks to get their one-hour weekly dramatic series underway. Packed with newly published photographs, production information from the Warner Brothers Archives, and new interviews, this is the never before told full story of Jeffrey Hunter and Temple Houston. Included are biographies of Hunter and co-star Jack Elam, as well as the previously untold history behind Robert Taylor's lost television series. Jeffrey Hunter and Temple Houston is a lively and entertaining look at a fascinating piece of television history.
