DVD Review!
“Gunsmoke Movie Collection” Review by Suzanne 8/30/20
If you enjoy the classic “Gunsmoke” TV series, then you’ll probably enjoy these movies as well. Even though the cast is older, they still do a great job on these later movies. The stories are solid. It’s not my favorite show, but I’ve seen many of the episodes because my dad used to watch it. It’s fun seeing Matt Dillon with long hair and acting like John Wayne in these films. Sadly, the actress who played Kitty (Amanda Blake), died after the first movie. Michael Learned stepped in to play an old romance of Matt’s.
There are 5 total Gunsmoke movies, but this collection only has the first three. It doesn’t appear as if the last two movies have come out yet. I wish I knew why. At any rate, if you’re a fan of the show, you’ll enjoy these movies. They have twice the action of the Gunsmoke TV series.
I wish they had more features on the DVD set. It has none. This set was clearly done cheaply.
