More about the book
The book explores the innovative approach of the television series Maverick, which aired from 1957 to 1962, presenting a non-traditional hero in Bret Maverick, a gambler focused on pleasure rather than power. It examines how the show infused humor, satire, and irony into the Western genre, contrasting with the typical moralistic narratives of its time. Author Dennis Broe analyzes the show's subversion of conventions seen in other Westerns like Gunsmoke and Bonanza, highlighting the significant contributions of producer Roy Huggins and lead actor James Garner.
