Tate is a unique western in many respects, although it aired as a summer replacement for only on season. One of the only westerns ever produced on video tape, not film, Tate stars David McLean (well known as The marlboro Man in countless commercials) as tate, a veteran of the Civil War who wanders the west looking for work as a bounty hunter and gun-for-hire, much like Paladin in Have Gun-Will Travel. Tate cut an imposing figure, his left arm covered in black leather from his finger tips to the elbow from a gunshot wound suffered in the War.
This three DVD set contains all thirteen well-crafted episodes of Tate, with appearances by many outstanding guest stars, including Robert Redford, Warren Oates, James Coburn, Martin Landau, Royal Dano, Leonard Nimoy and one episode directed by the great actress Ida Lupino.
