A film based on the wildly popular family TV show of the same name, which aired for 12 years and depicted a widowed father and his three sons as they maintained and defended their ranch, BONANZA is a meaningful, dramatic Western with a message. The Ponderosa is now run by the grown offspring of the Cartwright children, who maintain the sanctity of their home and the honor and moral character of the Cartwright name. Sarah, Josh, Adam, and Benjamin have inherited the ranch and are aided in tending it by the elderly Buckshot. Frank James is an outlaw with a heart of gold on the run from evil vigilante Charley Seringo and his gang, who have a personal vendetta against him. James befriends the Cartwrights and they protect him from Seringo, wanting to avoid violence on their land at all costs, but the feud must come to a head in a final dramatic faceoff. A subplot follows Benjamin's romance with neighboring farmgirl Anny; he wants to marry her, but she wants to travel to Paris to pursue a career as a piano player. Eventually he comes to realize that his duty is at home, where he will wait for Anny to achieve her dreams and come back for him.

Up until September of 2009, the only authorized DVD edition of BONANZA was a double-disc set with a selection of episodes from Artisan Entertainment, and that was out of print as of 2006. The only other versions have been cheap public-domain editions containing bad copies of various episodes that have fallen out of copyright. This four-disc set, containing the first half of the series' 1959-60 opening season, changes all of that--fortunately for fans of the series, there seem to be not only perfect copies of the first-season shows, but copies with the original network intros, "bumpers," and outros. The option of seeing those particular shows is one of the highlights of this DVD set, which offers about the best-looking account of the series ever seen. BONANZA was the first television Western series shot in color, and it was a major undertaking for NBC--which was tied corporately to RCA, which was not only marketing color television sets but also owned the patent on the color television system adopted by the FCC--even if most viewers in 1959 couldn't avail themselves of Bert Glennon's cinematography on the premiere episode, or the rest of the season that followed. The full-screen (1.33-to-1) transfers look fine and the sound is mastered at a healthy volume, and the chaptering follows the credit and commercial break-points. Each disc here comes with bonus features, in the form of stills from relevant episodes and events, and short interviews (dating from 2002) with series creator/producer David Dortort, devoted to such matters as Michael Landon's and Dan Blocker's recruitment into the series, and the creation of the map of the Ponderosa ranch. Those are interesting, and the Blocker segment is highly informative as well, but the best bonus feature--apart from the long-lost "song outro" from the debut episode (in which the Cartwrights leave Virginia City singing the BONANZA theme song--the only time it was ever heard that way)--is an episode of FIRESIDE THEATRE entitled "Man of the Comstock" from 1953; written by Dortort, the latter half-hour black-and-white show, starring Bruce Bennett and Andrea King, was the beginning of the inspiration behind BONANZA. All of these extras, as well as the presentation of the shows, makes it a must-own for fans of the series, no matter how many times they may have seen the episodes involved.

Description:

A rousing theme song primed the pump for this long-running Western set around the boomtown of Virginia City, Nevada. Amid the swinging picks and scamming opportunists of the Comstock Silver Lode, widowed cattleman Ben Cartwright (Lorne Greene) minds his sprawling Ponderosa Ranch as well as his three sons: even-keeled Adam (Pernell Roberts), gentle giant Hoss (Dan Blocker), and hot-tempered Little Joe (Michael Landon). Together, the tight-knit family tangles with the usual Western personae, usually with more good sense than gunpowder. This release features all of the first-season episodes in their entirety and with the original musical score.

Description:

BONANZA is a sprawling western television series about wealthy rancher Ben Cartwright and his three sons---Adam (Pernell Roberts), a two-fisted gunfighter with a penchant for design and engineering; Hoss (Dan Blocker), a huge and slightly dimwitted but good-hearted strongman in a big white ten-gallon hat; and Little Joe (Michael Landon, later of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE), a young hothead always getting into trouble over women or disputes of any imaginable description with almost anybody. Like all 1950s TV western series leads, the Cartwrights were superb fistfighters, able to knock almost anyone unconscious with a single blow from either fist. Ben had the enviable advantage of having apparently been everywhere and done everything prior to settling down on his thousand-acre empire ("the Ponderosa") outside Virginia City, Nevada, so he could always speak from an intimidating reservoir of experience. In "Dark Star," when a gypsy chieftain (Hugo Haas) condemns one of his tribe's women to death for being a witch, a beautiful young woman (Susan Harrison) seeks sanctuary in the arms of Little Joe on the Ponderosa.

Description:

BONANZA, a sprawling western television series, featured wealthy Nevada rancher Ben Cartwright and his three sons--Adam (Pernell Roberts), a two-fisted gunfighter; Hoss (Dan Blocker), a huge and good-hearted strongman; and Little Joe (Michael Landon, later of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE), a brawling young hothead. This compilation includes seven episodes. In "Blood on the Land," one of the screen's finest actors, Everett Sloane (CITIZEN KANE) portrays a rogue shepherd using the Ponderosa's grassy meadows to feed his hungry sheep. When he's told to leave, he kidnaps Adam in an attempt to ransom the deed to the entire ranch. In "Escape to Ponderosa," three frightened Army deserters (James Parnell, Grant Williams, and Joe Maross) assault Little Joe, leading Ben and his sons to assist a savagely sadistic Army captain (Chris Alcaide) in apprehending them. In "The Gunmen," a sheriff (Henry Hull of 1935's THE WEREWOLF OF LONDON) mistakes Hoss and Little Joe for two lookalike gunslingers who've been hired by the feuding McFadden patriarch (Douglas Spencer) to gun down his enemy Hadfield (Jonathan Gilmore). "Badge Without Honor" features Dan Duryea in the story of a supposed "Deputy Marshall" intent on bringing a friend of the Cartwrights to testify as a witness in a trial, but Adam has his doubts and accompanies them. In "Death At Dawn," a gang leader kidnaps Ben in order to exchange him for a convicted killer. "Desert Justice" presents Claude Akins in the tale of a man suspected of killing a marshal's wife and subsequently beaten while behind bars.

Description:

The classic television series BONANZA was conceived as a way for NBC to help sell color television sets for its parent company RCA (the electronics giant needed pigment-rich outdoor scenes to showcase its new color technology). But what began as a clever marketing ploy morphed into long-running success (1959-1973) for the epic western centered on family patriarch Ben Cartwright (Lorne Greene) and his sons Adam (Pernell Roberts), Hoss (Dan Blocker), and Little Joe (Michael Landon) on their Ponderosa Ranch in 1800s Nevada. This volume includes two episodes from the beloved series' first season: "The Avenger" and "The Last Trophy."
