James Drury “The Long Chase” Alias Smith and Jones DVD Release

One of James Drury’s first roles following the cancellation of The Men From Shiloh was the third season premiere episode of Alias Smith and Jones, “The Long Chase” (3:01). James Drury had previously featured as a guest star on the AS&J pilot episode playing Sheriff Lom Trevors. Once again he plays a sheriff, but this time it’s Sheriff Tankersley who is given the run around by Hannibal Heyes (Roger Davis) and Kid Curry (Ben Murphy) in a effort to restore the reputation of their long-time Bannerman Agency detective “friend’ Harry Briscoe (J.D. Cannon).

Timeless Media are releasing seasons 2 and 3 of Alias Smith and Jones in a 6 DVD set in June 2010. More information can be found on my Pete Duel Weblog.

  1. Paul,This ep with James Drury is on TG4 this Thursday, as they are showing them in the order they were originally broadcast and listed in the episode guide in your Pete Duel book. I posted to The Irish V Forum about it, so those who wanted to see it wouldn’t miss it.

    1. Don’t miss it Nicholas. This is Jim with a much different persona than he had as the Virginian. He features most at the beginning of the episode. The remainder is mostly spent on horseback.
