Tales of the 77th Bengal Lancers 1956 - 1957


In a period in which much of the programming on U.S. television 
consisted of Westerns, Tales of the 77th Bengal Lancers could best 
be described as an "Eastern". It consisted of the adventures of a 
fictional regiment of the famed real-life cavalry of the British Indian 
Army. The leading characters were the 77th's officers: the commander, 
Colonel Standish (Patrick Whyte) and two of his lieutenants, William 
Storm (Warren Stevens) and Michael Rhodes (Phil Carey). Rhodes 
was portrayed as a Canadian, purportedly because the actor portraying 
him, a native of New Jersey, could not be coached to produce a credible 
British accent.
