(NBC Primetime, 1955 - 1956)
[this dramatic anthology was set in days of the old West;
The venerable Worthington "Tony" Miner, creator of such
dramatic anthologies as "Studio One" produced this series;
"Frontier" had no continuing characters since it was a
dramatic anthology; only narrator Walter Coy was heard
each week and he made occasional acting appearances;
The tone of the show was expressed in his opening narration:
"This is the West. This is the land of beginning again. This
is the story of men and women facing The Frontier. This is
the way it happened..."
The realistic depictions and stories varied week to week;
and this may have been the weakness which caused it to
only last one season; perhaps Westerns need a continuing
hero...ala Matt Dillon, Bat Masterson, Bret Maverick, etc.]
[Tzipine was the conductor of re-recordings of B-picture cues in France
commissioned by David Chudnow for his MUTEL ("Music For Television")
music service in the 1950s; so it is not known who the original
composer of this THEME was...it might have even been Paul Sawtell
who also has a credit...]
