Surprisingly, this is the only website dedicated to reviewing every film and television appearances of the late great Robert Conrad (1935-2020). Best remembered as the star of the Wild Wild West (1965-1969), Conrad appeared in numerous television films and shows from the 1950s to the 1990s. His mix of macho persona with strange career decisions offers us an extensive and fun filmography that frequently borders on the camp. This website is for those of us who love watching forgotten gems. And, of course, for Robert Conrad fans.
The Conrad rubric:
How do we rank the films/tv shows of Robert Conrad? The typical Robert Conrad television films includes punching, unintentional laughs, the signature tight trousers, and random shirtless scenes. Yet other aspects are also measured. I am less interested in budget or cinematography, instead focusing on performance and plot. Feel free to comment your own ratings based on this rubric under each review.
Plot: max 5 points
Script: max 5 points
Conrad performance: max 5 points
Co-stars performance: max 5 points
Intentional laughs: max 5 points
Unintentional laughs: max 5 points
Macho rating: max 5 points
Shirtless Conrad: max 5 points
Tight trousers Conrad: 5 points
Fighting Conrad: 5 points
Total: 50 points
Enjoy the website!
About me
This website is a fun hobby designed to comfort me during my ‘serious’ academic research. While I do intend one day to develop an article for a peer-reviewed journal on the late great Robert Conrad, for now this website will reflect my own personal analysis and views of his work. If you are interested in my academic research, please follow this link: https://pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/en/persons/rosalind-hulse
If your interest is light-hearted reviews on the legend that was Robert Conrad, well, you’re in the right place. If you have your own review or analysis you would like to contribute, please go to the contribution page.
