Description   Gunsmoke Volume 12     Around Dodge City and in the territory on west -- there’s just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers -- and that’s with a U.S. Marshall and the smell of “Gunsmoke”! “Gunsmoke” starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved west with young America -- and the story of a man who moved with it. I’m that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall -- the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It’s a chancy job -- and it makes a man watchful...and a little lonely.   Gunsmoke added a layer to Matt Dillon that many western lawmen in fiction did not have.  He was a paradox. First and foremost, Dillon sought to keep the law he had sworn to uphold and protect those covered by that law.  He also, however, in many episodes showed an understanding of human nature, of how good people could be driven to do bad things for complicated reasons.  Sometimes this contradiction led him to make mistakes that he must fix by breaking the law. In other instances, he regretted having to see the punishment the law provides followed through. All in all, this makes Matt Dillon a very real and relatable character.   The interaction between Matt Dillon and Kitty Russell was another interesting aspect of Dillon’s character. Their relationship was rather subdued, and most agree that had much to do with just how poorly received a love affair between a lawman and a saloon girl might be.  Georgia Ellis, the actress portraying Miss Kitty, saw what the two characters shared as an agreed understanding. Regarding Kitty’s career as a lady of the evening before becoming the owner of the saloon, Ellis commented, “There was no forgiveness to be given because I don’t think Kitty was available to anybody but Matt.” This concept comes across often in the interplay between Matt and Kitty in various episodes.   Listen to the Sparkling Audio Quality in Radio Archives restoration of Gunsmoke, Volume 12.   #171 Ben Tolliver's Stud Saturday, July 23, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes   #172 Tap Day for Kitty Saturday, July 30, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes   #173 Innocent Broad Saturday, August 6, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes   #174 Johnny Red Saturday, August 13, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes   #175 Indian Scout Saturday, August 20, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes   #176 Doc Quits Saturday, August 27, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes   #177 Change of Heart Saturday, September 3, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes   #178 Alarm at Pleasant Valley Saturday, September 10, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes   #179 Throughbreds Saturday, September 17, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes   #180 Indian White Saturday, September 24, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes   #181 Barton Boy Saturday, October 1, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes   #182 Good Girl-Bad Company Saturday, October 8, 1955 - 30:00 - CBS, sponsored by L & M Cigarettes
