Gunsmoke
Those who know Gunsmoke only through the television series really don't understand how great this radio series is. These half hour shows are tightly scripted and the actors interpret them brilliantly. William Conrad was perhaps the greatest radio actor of all time; a man who could essay any role, play hero, fool, knave with consummate skill. Matt Dillion was his ultimate radio role and he carries the story brilliantly. He presents a hero who is doing a job no sane person would want, and who keeps doing it no matter how much it hurts and damages him. The realism he and his costars present is in the best traditions of the dramatic arts.
