"Railroad" one of the later episodes of the one-hour Gunsmokes. Hadn't seen it ina while, and wanted to catch it for the climatic fight between James Arness as Dillon against Railroad tycoon Cameron, played by Jim Davis. The fight ended up being along the lines of the Quiet Man fight, but too many reaction shots of townspeople, and too little of the actual fight, disappointed me. I think this episode came along when they were toning down the violence, and they really did!

Looks like casting is set for the Gunsmoke movie-not a bad lineup. I would have liked someone a tad younger for Matt tho:

Today I was watching "The Round Up", season 2 episode 4, 29 September, 1956. The resemblance to the real story of Hickok in Abilene and his shooting of Phil Coe and then his own deputy was uncanny.
Intense for a TV Western in 1956, IMO.
Superfluous post, just for entertainment value.
Yessir, that bit had to be a shock to fans of the show! -
I had really hoped he would go more into his films and Gunsmoke-stories behind the scenes and such-VERY little in that regard so I found it disappointing.
