Gunsmoke –
1952-1961
Matt
Dillon was
the
Marshall
of Dodge
City,
Kansas in
this
thirty-minute
western
adventure.
There were
over 480
episodes
broadcast
in the 9
years it
had
spanned.
The
opening of
the show
left
little
doubt that
Dillon was
the law;
“Around
Dodge
City, and
into the
territory
on the
west,
there’s
just one
way to
handle the
killers
and the
spoilers:
that’s
with a US
Marshall
and the
smell of
gunsmoke!
Gunsmoke!
… Starring
William
Conrad the
story of
the
violence
that moved
west with
young
America,
and the
story of a
man who
moved with
it. I’m
that man …
Matt
Dillon.
United
States
marshal …
the first
man they
look for,
and the
last man
they want
to meet …
it’s a
chancy
job, and
it makes
man
watchful …
and a
little
lonely.” |
