Conrad's voice on these makes me flash back to _Rocky and Bullwinkle_ as he had voiced the announcer. Paul Frees also performed in _Gunsmoke_ episodes. Here are some R&B out takes; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I1KpOx4NeR0.html Conrad - Twelve Days of Christmas: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NaTqN2ZuYSw.html I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and to have film and television 'location shoots' around the neighborhood was a fairly common occurrence. One day a scene from Cannon was being shot right at the end of my street, about 100 yards or so from our front door. Though a short scene of 'Cannon' pulling up in his full sized Lincoln (when they were 'land yachts'), getting out, barking some dialogue before getting back in and driving off, it took half the day to set up and shoot several 'takes'. Every time Conrad got out of that Lincoln it leapt up from its compressed springs and squashed back down several inches as he threw himself back into it.
My favorite episode in the TV series. I had never seen the good guys set up an ambush. It was against the unspoken code of the West but it was made palatable by the brutal killing of the little girl. The stories in the black and white TV Gunsmoke episodes still hold up and are entertaining today. It was fun to hear the voices of Howard McNear (Doc Adams) and Parley Baer (Chester) who would later appear on the Andy Griffith show as Floyd the Barber and the Mayor, respectively.
@Brian Salomon Wow, what a negative attitude. Your subjective pessimism aside, it IS possible the episode could have been well-made into an excellent hour-long program or more.
@Brian Salomon Well my friend, I must say, your second statement has an entirely different feel than your first one. Although I agree with you about remaking a classic film, that the original feel is never captured or surpassed, my initial comment was more along the lines of transferring the original story to a different medium/platform rather than remaking it in the same medium/platform, if you see the difference.
Talk about a striking contrast: a superb piece of radio drama, courtesy of Gunsmoke alongside the cynicism and utter balderdash of Ligett and Myers: L & M: “Just what the doctor ordered.”
If only there was justice like this today. Now, the six murderers would be seen as sympathetic victims who had bad childhood's, who would be eligible for parole in five years, and out in three. Meanwhile, Matt would be on trial and convicted with a 30 year sentence for police brutality.
