Good All-Around Entry
Superior entry. Gus Mather comes to Dodge bearing the casket of his good friend Orson Boggs. Gus is a friendly sort and wants to give Boggs a big send-off with a roistering wake. Naturally, all of Dodge's barflies show up at Boot Hill and then at Kitty's, drinking up a storm. But Matt suspects something. So he and Chester ride way out to find the Boggs homestead. There they encounter his righteous, domineering wife who's enough to scare the Devil himself. They all end up back in Dodge to a surprise ending.
It's a really well-put-together entry from all production aspects. Pyle was a Gunsmoke favorite and shines here as the free-spending Gus. Seymour, as Boggs' wife, is also a vivid character making the end both logical and slightly amusing. Good locations for the ride out. It really looks like the barren, rolling hills of Kansas. No gunplay here, but there's deepening curiosity as writer Meston's offbeat story unfolds along with some snappy dialog.
