McCloud Movie Download





















































a5c7b9f00b Sam McCloud is a town Marshal from Taos, New Mexico. He goes to New York to find an escaped criminal, and there falls for reporter Chris Coughlin, who is the cousin of the deputy police commissioner. After he tracks the criminal down, Chris convinces her cousin to request that Sam be assigned to temporary duty with the NYPD to learn modern police methods. He is assigned to the detective bureau headed by Chief Peter B. Clifford, who is less than thrilled with having McCloud under his command and gives him nothing but menial duties. Sam always winds up deep in homicides, drug busts, and various other major crimes. He is often helped out by Sgt. Joe Broadhurst, and solves them using a combination of good police work and good old country know-how. Sam McCloud is a Marshal from Taos, New Mexico, who takes a temporary assignment in the New York City Police Department. His keen sense of detail and detecting subtle clues, learned from his experience, enable him to nab unsuspecting criminals despite his unbelieving boss. Although I think that the original inspiration for the McCloud series came from Clint Eastwood&#39;s film Coogan&#39;s Bluff which involved a New Mexico sheriff in New York, Dennis Weaver certainly made Marshal Sam McCloud his own character and certainly was a lot less stiff than Eastwood&#39;s Joe Coogan.<br/><br/>The premise had Sam McCloud of Taos, New Mexico in New York to take some training in new law enforcement techniques. But it seemed that in every show he was teaching those New York City slickers a thing or two about criminal apprehension.<br/><br/>He was the bane of the existence of Chief Clifford who was played by J.D. Cannon. Cannon looked like he was about to let an ulcer get the better of him in each show. A bit more patient was the NYPD babysitter Terry Carter who played Sergeant Joe Broadhurst. Weaver even got a little romance going with reporter Diana Muldaur. Weaver was good for scoops at least.<br/><br/>And there was McCloud&#39;s eternal catchphrase. Whenever the New Yorkers finally got whatever he was doing it was always &quot;There Ya Go&quot;. Weaver was always springing country aphorisms which he had to translate.<br/><br/>Weaver really made this show click. He hated playing Chester in Gunsmoke, always thought he should have been the marshal.<br/><br/>I&#39;d say he proved it with McCloud. &quot;McCloud&quot; seemed like a fairly promising show from what I had read about it. Dennis Weaver did very well in that suspense television movie, &quot;Duel.&quot; The studio behind that film,&quot;Universal&quot; studios, decided to produce a show about a New Mexico sheriff who is based in New York. Sadly, the above show failed to meet my expectations. The episodes that I have seen feel drawn out and quite boring in places. Dennis Weaver makes the whole thing watchable but I don&#39;t really like this series. I think the actors could have been given better material. What doesn&#39;t help &quot;McCloud,&quot; is that the British DVD release has edited about the first 4 episodes, so as to pass them off as being 2 feature length pilot episodes. This is not the case and I have no idea why this editing was done.
