''Tales of the 77th Bengal Lancers'' is a television series broadcast in the United States by NBC during its 1956-57 season. In a period in which much of the programming on U.S. television consisted of Westerns, ''Tales of the 77th Bengal Lancers'' could best be described as an "Eastern". It consisted of the adventures of a fictional regiment of the famed real-life cavalry of the British Indian Army. The leading characters were the 77th's officers: the commander, Colonel Standish (Patrick Whyte) and two of his lieutenants, William Storm (Warren Stevens) and Michael Rhodes (Phil Carey). Rhodes was portrayed as a Canadian, purportedly because the actor portraying him, a native of New Jersey, could not be coached to produce a credible British accent. George Archainbaud earned a nomination from the Directors Guild of America as well from the Emmys in 1957 for his direction of the episode "The Traitor,"〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048901/awards?ref_=tt_awd〕 which first aired Nov. 19, 1956.〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048901/episodes?year=1956&ref_=ttep_ep_yr_pv〕 The series failed in the ratings opposite ''Lassie'' on CBS and ended its run after six months on the air.〔1956-1957 United States network television schedule〕 ==See also== *''Lives of a Bengal Lancer'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tales of the 77th Bengal Lancers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
