Gilbert Roland always plays a exelent scoundrel.

A very good episode actually. But " Combat," beginning to show the strain of its longevity. But it will always be the classic war series. Unbeatable.

The plot in The Convict was excellent. Some of the best writers in television wrote the series episodes for my favorite, all-time war classic, Combat! Simply superb!

GILBERT ROLAND/FERNANDO LAMAS/RICARDO MONTALBAN ALL DID A COMBAT !!!

Back when a career criminal was considered "an enemy of France". Today, a career criminal is really a good person, never harmed anyone, just did it because he was poor.

Luis Antonio Dámaso de Alonso (December 11, 1905 - May 15, 1994), known professionally as Gilbert Roland, was a Mexican-born American film and television actor whose career spanned seven decades from the 1920s until the 1980s. Roland was born in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, and originally intended to become a bullfighter like his father and his paternal grandfather. When Pancho Villa took control of their town, Roland and his family fled to the United States. He lived in Texas until at age 14 he hopped on a freight train and went to Hollywood. After arriving there, he found menial jobs and slept in a Catholic church. He often lost those jobs because he spent time working as an extra in films. He chose his screen name by combining the names of his favorite actors, John Gilbert and Ruth Roland. He was often cast in the stereotypical Latin lover role.

Boy, thats 1 knife throwing Frenchman S.O.B!..LOL!..Robert at 69 who grew up on Combat.

I remember Gilbert Roland from the Sackett movie in 1979 with Sam Elliot, Tom Selleck, and Glenn Ford. He was also on a great Bonanza episode. He was 60 by the time this episode was made but of course they made him look younger. Makeup can do wonders.

Two US soldiers flanked the ZPU and killed the gunner. Then used the weapon against the NVA.

The Military has known for decades that our government is so corrupt, but they have held off doing anything about it. They knew Trump wasn't part of the New world order and eventually hold off socialism. Trump has been ready to run for the last 30 years, but finally the Military asked him to run to save us from the New World Order and Socialism, that would turn into Communism. When all but Fox new goes after Trump, you know something drastically is wrong. Trump is trying to Eliminate the cabal that rules the world . How ever it will take More than Trump to do it. It wil take we the people to getour country back that we lost to the Rothschilds more than 200 years ago..... Google the [ The House Of Rothschilds ] If you don't believe me. Trump must eliminate the Federal Reserve bank in which there are shareholder's like the Rothschild's, Rockefeller's etc....We pay them interest for our own money. Congress should be printing our money not the Fed reserve which is about as federal as Federal Express! I really feel sorry for all the Trump hater's. Sure he is a ego maniac, and has many social problems. But he is a genius, just give him more time and give him a republican congress back. Everythig you hear on tv is controlled by the CIA and has been since TV was created basically from 47 onwards. You dont keep in line 300 million americans by tellng the people the truth all the time. Tv tells us what they want us to know and then keeps drilling it in our heads, until we believe their lies. Back to combat I loved this show since I was 6 yeras old in 62. It stands the test of time. I wish they had spent a little more money on realism though, but over all the greatest war series /movies ever created. Vic was it !
