- TriviaMatt Dillon's hair-rising ride across the plains, with him getting everything and then some out of his horse and showing the tension throughout his body, was no act. Just before filming this scene (the last of the season), James Arness learned that the series wasn't on the fall schedule and reacted accordingly. When the show was renewed a few weeks later (CBS boss William Paley returned from vacation and personally ordered it back on), he liked the film so much that he had the producers use it as the opening of each show, which they did in place of the famed gunfight.
Featured review
The story picked up the pace and produced a good show
From the slow start in part one, this part step up the pace and made the story much more interesting than the previous episode indicated.
From part one we know that George McClaney was involved in a dangerous job of getting nitroglycerin from boiling dynamite. He was paid well and upon wanting to quit, he was threatened with harm coming to his girlfriend Ann.
In this part George learns that the nitro was being used to rob banks and break into safes across Kansas. Now George is desperate to get out of the dangerous job even to the point of getting Louie to take the job. But he then feels so bad about putting Louie in the job that he rescues him. Louie tells Matt about George's job and even points out the three men that have been making the bank heists.
With Matt riding like the wind to the shack where George is making his last batch- we can only hope Matt arrives in time to tell him that they have the bank robbers.
This second part saved both parts from a dismal story. Part two was alive with emotion and feeling (unlike part one) which made the viewer want to watch to the very end.
Note- When Marshal Dillon is riding his horse fast as he could to the shack to tell George they have the men, that riding clip would be used for the rest of the series opening up the show instead of the face off in the street scene.
