What I admired most about the character Matt Dillon: he could stand up to the most murderous outlaw and in the next scene be the kindest and most respectful of gentlemen to a lady. He was a man’s man, much like John Wayne. And I truly believe that the actor James Arness must have possessed some of those same characteristics in order to be able to portray Dillon the way he did in the series. We all love hero-worship and Matt Dillon was worthy of it!
@davidbusciglio55292 жыл бұрын
According to the accounts of his fellow cast members, ' what you saw was what you got '. He was the same guy off screen and on screen. My Dad, who met him at a special engagement at a local TV station in Tampa (early 1960s), received the same impression. ....And yes, he did bear some of those same qualities in real life. Was a real life war hero, a combat vet from WWII. As a US Army infantryman, he was issued the purple heart, the bronze star and four other medals of valor during the war, the specifics of which I can't recall. They sure don't make em like Jim Arness anymore. Jimmy Stewart was in the same category (Airforce combat vet If I recall correctly).
@donnasmith35502 жыл бұрын
I think James arrested and James Stewart are two of the best in the westerns that I have ever seen. I enjoyed their television shows and the movies they made. I will still watch them even if they are reruns. There are a lot of good western cowboys like John Wayne and many others like the old one of Roy Roger's and Dale Evans and the lone ranger and Jay silver heels who played Tonto. I like any western be it now or the past one with gaby hays.

Mr. Arness was not only a great Actor but a great American. He was a WW II veteran who served his Country in more ways than one. When he went out to visit a National Park he would pick up the liter that someone left behind. Something you don't see much in the newer generation of famous people. That's is one reason America is looking more like slums all over day after day. I feel sorry for people that never saw the early 60's. What beauty this Country was before the immigration of filth.

James Arness was 6' 7" tall (79 inches). Modern doorways are generally 80" high -- which means Arness wouldn't get through one -- wearing a cowboy hat -- unless he bent his head down pretty low. I think they probably modified the doorways in the show especially to accommodate him.

Gunsmoke was ahead of its time back in the 50's-60's. It was a more mature western. The Virginian was my main one I liked...it did address much that GS did but more subtle and just understood after you watched James Drury and Doug McClure and what they stood for. I loved Gunsmoke because of Jim Arness' one hour solo episodes. I never cared for the attempted corny comedy stuff...it was spread out too long and was never funny to me. The rest was fine. Had Arness not been main star it never would have lasted long.
@conniehale62223 жыл бұрын
I loved the added humor. It showed that the writers of the scripts knew that different people acted differently (in real life). You are right about the solo episodes bc he was an extraordinary actor. GS, to me, was the epitome of all westerns as well as “The Virginian”. With the loss of actors like Jim Arness, James Drury and Doug McClure, westerns will never be what they once were. 😊

This story was first aired on radio with William Conrad as Marshall the original Marshall Matt Dillon, Georgia Ellis as the original Miss Kitty and Parley Baer. as the original Chester Wesley Proudfoot, a name created by William Conrad.. For some unknown reason Chester's name was changed to Chester Goode for the later television series. This story is almost identical and in my opinion much better than the television version although who can argue with with either version being excellent. Most of the stories written were by "Gunsmioke's" creator John Mestin who also had editorial approval over the later stories written by other writers. Parley Baer on the radio show version is more sympathetic and less hostile in character than the television version. As has been often said, "Radio is the Theater of the Mind", and this episode versus the original radio version proves such is definitely the case.

This clip reminded me of something. I've sometimes wondered if they intentionally sized the sets so that Arness didn't have to duck when depicted going in and out of entrances. With Arness being 6'05" the set doors would have to be at least 77" tall, probably more so to give the illusion that he wasn't having to duck to go through them. That's not a very standard door height, then or today. I've been in a lot of old buildings over the years, and if anything room and door dimensions tended to run smaller than what is considered dimensionally true today, because people were smaller in general....
