Theatrical Release Information | See Details About All Versions
Despite irrefutable evidence which places Jim Applegate (Charles Aidman) at the scene of a lynching, Hoss Cartwright doesn't reveal this information to Sheriff Coffee. It is not friendship or loyalty which motivates Hoss' silence: Both he and Jim are in love with Cameo Johnson (Peggy Ann Garner), and Hoss does not want to be accused of falsely besmirching his romantic rival. Featured in the cast are Robert McQueeney as Gideon and Joe De Santis as Morehouse. Written by Anthony Lawrence and first telecast on April 15, 1961, "The Rival" was one of several Bonanza episodes directed by Robert Altman. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
