Reviews:
"This particular Bonanza episode touched on some very adult issues and was borrowed from the classics. If you're going to get inspired, it's good to be inspired by the best.

In this case the plot of The Mill is taken from none other than the Bard himself in what some consider his greatest work. Harry Townes plays a paralyzed Othello, confined to a wheelchair and having to be assisted by his general factotum Claude Akins. His Desdemona is Dianne Foster and it is hinted that due to injuries Townes can't do his husbandly duties. Foster has an itch that needs scratching, but is repelled by the thought of Akins doing the scratching.

In the meantime Akins is a swaggering Iago in the piece who drinks and gambles with Townes who winds up owing him considerable money. He encourages jealousy in Townes, first over Pernell Roberts and then over Lorne Greene. Townes is in that wheelchair over a drunken shooting accident that involved Greene. All in all a recipe for tragedy.

"The story line is excellent. A woman who loves her husband feels unloved because he cannot learn to get along without the use of his legs. (This is also a theme that is played over and over in Bonanza. In this particular episode, Ben seems to have an attraction to the wife and decides his family needs to help them find some sort of way to make a living.

Besides the husband and wife, there's a "friend" who is actually what I believe to be a crooked gambler. Claude Atkins is the only character actor, I think, who could have played this bad boy row to perfection. In the end, his character becomes so evil that you wish he would die.

Modern TV is so bad that I'm binge watching Bonanza. 😆 I used to love watching the reruns when I was a kid.

This is a good one The Mill. This is one of my favorite ones. Here we have all 4 Cartwright men loving the Mrs. Edward. She knows her drunk husband is no used to her and they won't fired their devilish con hired hand who up to no good. He wants the wife, house and land. Drink and Gamble it all. Old man Ben taking advantage of the whole deal seeing mrs Edwards need a new husband and Ben single. She knows what she foing too. That why she goes out to Ben house to lay all her burdens on him. And the men building the mill gir them all to make more money was a good idea. The couple never file for a divorce either. Domestic violence doesn't solve nothing. Ben had high hopes and she played him and telling him she loves him.later Now two men end up dead over this woman. She wasn't planning on moving in with a better man. Took off with the money of the property ect. She leaves Ben snd move on. She came out ending up single so later she can remarry. So sad the ending for especially. Ben. Kiss and say Goodbye. No remote. No children . No courthouse involved. Back in the days. Cases like this happen all the time now more in life. In the name of love. Ben goes home to the ponderosa and he will need more than a glass of wine to get over another heartbreak for sure. Break out a gallon of Jack Daniels instead. 😊

"I'm sure Tom meant no harm" Yikes! He's leaning over her with a knife!

Mrs. Edwards knew about the Cartwright curse with women. She had too leave.🤠

[belindabonilla]

Great show! Wished we could see more movies like this one.

Miss the Cartwrights...

Good ole Claude Akins, nearly always got the part of the heavy. Really nice guy in real life, though.

Nowadays you could use that same exact mill to grind up old circuit boards for the purposes of precious metals extraction. Set up a smelter right next to it and power the bellows online off that same wheel with a belt drive. The term "online" actually dates back to the 1800s because it meant that a piece of machinery was connected to the same rotating shaft via a belt drive.

At the end Joyce reminds Ben, that after Marie's death he left the Ponderosa for a while to see new places and meet new people.
I keep wondering how long he was gone for and did he leave Little Joe (I think he was about 5 years old), who just lost his mother, with some strangers or just Hop Sing and Adam to look after him? 🤔

[TrulygreenSolution]

Claude Akins has always been one of my favorite actors! He was outstanding in this episode of Bonanza (1960); the movie, "Claudelle Inglish" (1962); and "The Devil's Brigade" (1968). He was unforgettable and is missed-

[teresakazmierczak]

Am I right or this actor who played Ezekiel also played Martial in episode 23? First time I see featuring actors playing again in different episodes. Great. Waiting for more.
