The Rogues
(1964-1965)
Mark Fleming |
This was a series about a family of confidence tricksters
whose main purpose was to take things from the extremely wealthy, mostly
the ones who stopped at nothing in making their fortunes. The main members
of the family were all cousins and included an Englishman, a
Frenchman, and an American. They would each
generally take the lead role in an episode and occasionally the others
would have small parts to add to the other's story. Assisting the lead
actor each week was Robert Coote's character, the only real constant
throughout the series.
The music was done by Nelson Riddle who also did the music for Batman.
This is only noted because many musical cues seem similar between the two
series.
Near the end of the series, a new American cousin was introduced and was
played by Larry Hagman. Since the series wasn't picked up for another
season, Larry was free to move onto I Dream of Jeannie which
started the following season. |
