Book Reviews of Gunsmoke: A Complete History
Book Review: A Glowing Tribute to One of the Most Successful TV shows EVE
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't tell you how often during a random month I peruse this book, whether it's to check an episode title, a guest star, pit a radio episode against it's television version, or just look at the pages of photographs. I keep it at my desk, well within reach, it's become so handy. This program ran for 20 years on television and 6 on radio, and finally, here is a book that does this 'grandaddy of westerns' justice. An incredible compilation. Not only does it have an extensive radio commentary and review, impeccably researched, it celebrates and pays homage to the longest running television drama series ever. Interviews with the surviving primary cast members, James Arness, Amanda Blake, Ken Curtis and Buck Taylor, it also has anecdotes from guest stars (many who's career was jump-started by an role in an episode of Gunsmoke), producers, directors, writers, and anyone else who was involved with this highly successful program. Photographs, anecdotes, behind-the-scenes tidbits, fond remembrances and a synopsis for each and every radio and television episode shown is included, along with an extensive index . Pricey, it's strictly for the die hard fan.
