The Rogues TV series
September 1964 – April 1965



The Rogues is an American television series that appeared on
NBC from September 13, 1964, to April 18, 1965, starring
David Niven, Charles Boyer, and Gig Young as a related trio
of former conmen who could, for the right price, be persuaded
to trick a very wealthy and heinously unscrupulous mark.
Although it won the 1964 Golden Globe award for Best
Television Series, the show was cancelled after one season
consisting of thirty episodes.

Niven and Boyer were two of the owners of Four Star Television,
the show’s production company. Although sometimes appearing
together, the three leads tended to rotate appearances as their
schedules permitted, which meant that Young helmed more
shows since he was less busy otherwise than Niven, who was
still enjoying a career as a major movie leading man and had
won the Academy Award for Best Actor only six years earlier,
or Boyer. In the latter part of the season Larry Hagman was
brought aboard to help fill in for Young, who had been the lead
in most episodes. The only episode in which Niven and Boyer
had more or less equally large roles was "Bless You, G. Carter
Huntington," which also featured Young in a substantial capacity.
Niven briefly appears in a number of episodes but only takes the
lead in three because of his schedule constraints. Also lending
continuity were the presences of Gladys Cooper and Robert
Coote, who appeared as supporting players in most episodes.

Guest appearances included Walter Matthau, Everett Sloane,
Gia Scala, George Sanders, Broderick Crawford, Darren McGavin,
Sally Kellerman, Tol Avery, Dina Merrill, Eddie Albert, Ida Lupino,
Marie Windsor, Raquel Welch, Elsa Martinelli, and Telly Savalas.
