Timeless Media Group and NBC Universal are proud to present all 76 episodes of The Deputy starring Henry Fonda and Allen Case.
Marshal Simon Fry (Henry Fonda) is a lawman who will do whatever it takes to keep the peace in Silver City, AZ and Fry’s sometimes reluctant deputy, Clay McCord (Allen Case), is a sharp shooting storekeeper who shuns violence whenever he can, but who is persuaded to step in to help the aging Silver City Marshal (Wallace Ford) when Simon is out of town.
Other recurring roles are played by veteran western actors, Read Morgan, Phil Tully and Addison Richards. Many guest stars join the cast, James Coburn, Stacy Keach, Alan Hale, Jr, Lee Van Cleef and many more. The Deputy was produced by Norman Lear (All in the Family) and features a great jazz guitar score by Jack Marshall.
Thanks for the post Paula,
pity Henry was not in more of the episodes,
and although billed as the star, as the title suggests,
it was all about The Deputy played by Allen Case.
Apparently at the time Fonda fans were disappointed to
see that Henry was only seen in a third of the episodes,
and most of those, only briefly!
