William Munny V Brett Maverick

Among the extra features on the second disc of the Special Edition Unforgiven DVD, is a classic episode of  Maverick. It's including here because the guest star in this particular episode is Clint Eastwood. The cover details also state that the character Eastwood plays in the episode could be a younger version of William Munny. And whilst I'm not convinced by that claim, it is great episode of what was, after all, a great series.

Eastwood plays Red Hardigan a coward and bully, who happens to be lightening fast on the draw. Maverick beats him in a fist fight early in the episode but know he will have no chance in a gunfight, which is what Hardigan is threatening. Maverick, of course, always has an Ace up his sleeve and this time it's in the shape of John Wesley Harding.

The episode makes for a nice little bonus on the already essential Unforgiven two disc edition.
