Just posted this on the I See Dead People (no. 2) thread:

Found an episode of Maverick up on YouTube today. It was rather satisfying, with its twists and its emotions. And in the closing credits the director was listed as Budd Boetticher.

I wouldn't bet on it staying up long, but here's the link:

According to Wikipedia, Boetticher directed the first three episodes of the series. Don't know who scripted this episode ("Point Blank"), but it fits well Sarris's description: "Constructed partly as allegorical Odysseys and partly as floating poker games where every character takes turns about bluffing at his hand until the final showdown, Boetticher's westerns expressed a weary serenity and moral certitude..." Pretty good description of Bret Maverick and Jim Rockford, too.
