The Rifleman: Death Never Rides Alone (1962)
Episode 5, Season 5
Life and death second to none...

The several face-offs in this dramatic episode were the essence of moral, life-and-death challenges; the lesson: stand up and be ready, but let death pass on if possible.
To begin with, I'm a huge fan of Lee Van Cleef - I rate him as one of the top five western actors of the past century (although admittedly I may not have seen some of the actors from the first half of the century). The combo of Connors and Van Cleef was absolutely fantastic, and I think Mark, McCain's kid, contributed a lot to this episode as well.
I have never seen a better Rifleman episode, and the cool acting of the three desperadoes sold their parts as cocky killers, only reenforcing my opinion that this is the best of the best.
