Gunsmoke
Unlike other new TV Westerns this season, Gunsmoke furnishes its hero with a girl. Although, in the Western tradition, the hero doesn’t get much chance for romancing, she’s on view in almost every episode. But. the writers don’t let her interfere much with Gunsmoke’s taut, action-packed stories.
The CBS series relates the exploits of a Marshal Matt Dillon, excellently portrayed by James Arness. The program’s writers have given him plenty of opportunity to display his quick-on-the-draw technique. So far, he has killed a psychotic gunslinger who had wounded him in an earlier gun battle; he has saved another gunman from being lynched by an angry mob, and he has amputated the leg of a wounded rancher. Each of these exploits is a good day’s work for any respectable marshal.
Arness is back-stopped each week by a fine supporting cast. Dennis Weaver is good as his crippled buddy, Chester, and Amanda Blake extremely decorative as his saloon hostess girl friend. Production and direction reflect skill and attention to detail.—R.S.
