Gunsmoke lasted through many eras of big-screen Westerns – the heroic epics of the Fifties, the spaghetti Westerns of the Sixties and the sometimes darker, sometimes funnier takes on the genre in the Seventies.
Marshal Matt Dillon’s adventures on television were just as, if not more, compelling than many cowboy movies. The titles of the more than 600 Gunsmoke episodes reflect the wide variety of stories told on the iconic series.
