I wanted to see this film when it first hit the theaters. However I never did as I was sent to Thailand by the Air Force and missed it in the theaters.
About a year later, in 1974, I was at Myrtle Beach AFB and my roomate and I were at the NCO club on a saturday watching Wide World of Sports. These two Marines came in the club, ordered some drinks at the bar and relaxed in the club. It was unusual to see Marines in an Air Force NCO club, and my roomate went over to invite them to sit with us at our table to join us.
Turned out they were from Camp Lejune, about 75 miles or so north of Myrtle Beach in North Carolina, escorting a prisoner to the Charleston Naval Base down the coast. They had stopped at Myrtle Beach to keep their prisoner overnight in confinement at the base. They were our age, nice guys and never had been to Myrtle Beach before.
One thing led to another and I had to go on duty however my roomate stayed at the club talkiing to these guys. I got off duty at midnight and Mike wasn't in the room so I went off to sleep, About 7am I get a knock on the door. I have a phone call.... Its Mike and he tells me that he went off with the Marines we met at the club and he needs me to come downtown to this motel. One of them can't find his uniform and they need to be on base at 9 to escort the prisoner they had down to Charleston.
So it's a Sunday morning at 7am, and I find the motel downtown where they were at. One thing had led to the other, they went bar hopping and the Marine had changed into civlian clothes in some trailer park, but don't remember where. Since I'm the only one that has a car, can I help him find the trailer so they can find their uniforms and change. Ok where's the trailer? No one knew where, but they knew about where it was.
Back then (1974), Myrtle Beach had quite a few trailer parks. Enough remembering between the three of them had me drive to one of them they think it was, then of the about 30 trailers in the trailer park they think they see the one where he left his uniform when he changed into civillian clothers.
Through dumb luck it was the right one and about 5 minutes later he came out of the trailer in his uniform. I drove them back onto Myrtle Beach AFB and we went over to the Security Police building and dropped them off and they continued their escort duty of the prisoner down to Charleston.
Years later, I saw this film and all the memories of that time with the marines flooded back.....
Yes, I enjoyed the film also.

After enjoying the previous episodes of the series, the last epsode is basically a recap of the series, with a 1970s pro environmentalist message. It was very dissapointing.
It basically contains Andy Griffith playing a college professor to write some type of history of Centennial and he is told the long history of the area from Paaqunel and McKee to the present day in a 2 hour recap. Robert Vaughn plays a decentend of the Wendells and acts id a slimy manner and offers to share his history with Griffith, but never does. David Janssen is the current owner of the. Venneford Ranch and does basically most of the recapping of the story
In addition many threads in the series are left unresolved. The St Louis family Mercy? Bockweiss dissapears from the saga after the Civil War segment and once Levi Zent passes the story shifts to the Wendells and the Lloyds, with nothing about what happened to the Zent familyll
At the end there is some type of election that Janssen talks how things were in the past and how they should protect the land, while Wendell wante to bring jobs and industry to the state... Not a very satisfactory ending at all and Merle Haggard throws in a song in the cantina where Griffth and Janssen hang out at the end as the election returns come in .

Dick Powell was a performer/writer/director and lastly a producer in Hollywood for over 30 years. In all those years, he made many friends in the buisness. Powell passed away in early January 1963, in the middle of what would be the last television series which he was personally involved in, The Dick Powell show, renamed the Dick Powell Theater after his passing
This final show of his last series was introduced by his friend Ronald Reagan. It was actually written and produced after Powell's passing in the spring of 1963. It has a cavelcade of Powell's friends in it, and many references to Powell's detective roles in films, radio and television. It was their way of honoring him, and closing out Powell's last series.
