Gunsmoke: Lijah (1971)
Episode 9, Season 17
Plot was old hash except for Erin Moran-a great little actress
17 April 2024
The plot exposed itself so early and how it was going to end that I left for 20 minutes to go do something else and then came back to see if the ending was what I predicted. The best part was seeing a 10 yr old Erin Moran pre-puberty before playing Joanie Cunningham on Happy Days. She did an outstanding acting job in her role and cried a river of tears when she confessed at the end that Lijah the mountain man did not kill her parents, but her uncle did. The scene in the well and the rattlesnake was reminiscent of True Grit when the bad guys put the girl and Glenn Campbell in the well with snakes. James Arness looking a little old and puffy. Except for Erin's performance it is the waste of an hour.
