"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary
S3 E2 - "Gun for Chester"

0:30 this is new Boot Hill opening sequence footage. It's delightful to see the occasional Boot Hill intro carry on into season 3. It's still one of my favorite things about the show.

0:42 you can see in his face that he's truly formed a oneness with his character at this point. The experience is palpable.

That original Boot Hill intro footage was from before he ever even really played the character for any considerable amount of time... but this is season 3.

Now he has become Marshal Dillon... https://imgur.com/a/WD7pCR2

1:56 fifty cents a day?? That's pretty steep.

13:35 this Asa Ledbetter guy is pretty hot. He's damn near as big as Marshal Dillon! Righteous name too.

22:15 the lighting in some of these scenes is just incredible... https://imgur.com/a/DKpPmyn

23:25 it's moments like this when Chester 100% redeems himself.

24:38 look at Arness's body language after that emotional exchange...

He felt that moment and it moved throughout his body. It's more than acting. It's a natural flow state.
