Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe saloon Bret visits was originally the set for Rick's Cafe from Casablanca (1942). This statement appears to refer to the flat used as the exterior facade and entrance, as the interior set bears no resemblance to Rick's in Casablanca, and is in fact the same saloon/cantina set used in many other episodes.
- GoofsAt the 10-minute mark there is a scene in The Cantina Americana where a man plays a Gibson acoustic guitar. Assuming the time line is in the 1870s, this would mean that the Gibson made an appearance approximately thirty years too soon as they were established in 1902.

[first lines]
Bret Maverick: [narrating] The trip from Memphis to New Orleans cost forty seven dollars, if you didn't play poker. For me, the price was two thousand, three hundred and fifty eight dollars. Ah, but I wasn't discouraged when we docked at New Orleans. I still had the thousand dollar bill I kept for emergencies fastened to the lining of my coat with a safety pin. One week later, I still had the safety pin.

There was a 1984 film called 'Streets of Fire' where it looked like the 1950s but it was actually the 21st century and America had simply regressed to a 1950s look more or less. Or the 1958 film 'Teenage Caveman' where we think It is like 20,000 years ago but It is really a century or so from now after nuclear war turned back the clock to the stone age.
It would have almost been possible after seeing this to think Maverick was really set in the 21st century after an economic apocalypse and oil shortage had turned the clock to the late 19th century. In fact maybe that is exactly what has happened. And eps that seemed to be set firmly in the 19th century by dates given are just Maverick's narrative inventions and he and his brother both live in the future. Or that Brett and Bart live in contemporary times and when they narrate their stories this is all what they think the 19th century looked like.
