Featured review
Definitely not a typical Gunsmoke
No shots fired. Viewpoints on the lifestyle of Dodge. A "surprise" ending.
The brief scene with the scout, in which Matt tells the scout of Dodge : just don't kill anybody and you'll be fine, sets up the contrast.
A few quibbles. No one is interested in seeing the dead person in the coffin. Proof of cause of death? Death certificate? Once beyond that point, Matt becomes more interested than the circumstances justify. His guesses don't seem justified by the facts. Why ride to Red Bank country? Why does Matt care?
Do viewers of this episode in the 21st century view the "point" the same way as first time viewers of the 20th?
