"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary
Quote:"Arness had a lot of Matt Dillon's gutsiness, to begin with," director Ted Post told TV Guide in an interview.

"This guy's long-suit as an actor is the compassion that comes out in a poignant look that I call 'Weltschmerz' -- world pain. Gary Cooper had it. So did Bogart, Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, Spencer Tracy, they all have it. Arness has it and doesn't even know it."

Weltschmerz means to carry the world's troubles on your shoulders.
