Technically, in today's day and age, that would be illegal. Baiting him big time. Great scene though. I don't know about the law back in those days. I bet that baiting had never even been thought of legally. Lol.
Uh oh , Matt , I know you didn’t kill one of my favorite actors, Charles Bronson. It made my heart hurt when he got killed in the movie The Magnificent Seven. However I loved the movie he starred in, It Happened in the Spring.
RED ROVER RED ROVER!! That is an awesome gunsmoke clip. I Miss Bronson's actioning rolls. It's a "Little Stranger" seeing this old clips now a days. But Rock On anyway.
Many different locations! The outdoor scenes were filmed in various parts of Arizona, California, Oregon, South Dakota, and Utah, according to Google. Yet the set was located at Melody Ranch Studio in California. 🤔
Although I was a fan of the TV show, the radio series is amazing. William Conrad played Matt Dillon. The show was darker (as was the character of Matt Dillon), way more violent. And the production values were amazing...it was just like listening to a movie. Conrad wanted the TV series but he had gained a lot of weight and didn't fit the heroic figure. The radio series was still on when the TV series started. The entire radio series is on Archivedotorg. The TV series will seem kinda lightweight in comparison...good, but lightweight.
Your right but because people didn’t have to see it and try to quickly censor it is why they could bring it to TV in that way, Wild Wild West was top rated show canceled because some congressman thot it was to violent m, please 😂, James West the James Bond of the western world
The main was the ultimate badass of all time, I still love hearing him tell someone that he has had a about a belly full of em just before he bitch slaps em to sleep 👍👍
The best scene was the gunfighter goaded two farm boys into fighting and of course killed them both. Same thing, they drew first. Matt couldn't prosecute him so he went in the bar and cleared everyone out and told Chester to watch the door and not let anyone else in to interfere and then just BEAT the guy. Took all the fight out of him and the rest of the show was the gunfighter having an existential crisis. The fight scene was completely off screen and was awesome because you could hear it and you saw Chester's face go from concern to feeling sort of sorry for the gunfighter.
I should rewatch this! I remember watching this on Nick@Nite. Used to have to wake up early so my Pops could drop me off to school before he went to work. I remember going crazy when I got to the colorized seasons lol. I felt like I was living through the changes, back like the 50s to the 70s.
I was James Arness’ neighbour in Wyoming for about 10 years. Lovely man and a big fan of moleskin pants. Said they gave him a great feeling of security. I took his advice and I’ve been wearing them ever since. I believe they protected me from the Covid.
