The Best of Gunsmoke on Radio

Rating:
Summary: Simply the best
Review: As a connoiseur of radio, I can say confidently that "Gunsmoke" has no peer. The nuances, the music, the sound effects, and even the dramatic silences all heighten the effect of superb stories acted by great radio talent. William Conrad is the perfect anti-hero, often doubting himself, but always ruefully accepting his mission eventually. The great supporting cast (Parley Baer, Georgia Ellis & Howard McNear) brings the characters to life in a more realistic way than the TV show. This collection is a good sampling of these shows, presented just as they were broadcast.

Review: This is a wonderful set. Everybody is just so good. John Dehner is in a bunch of episodes and this guy was no slouch. First class acting all the way!!! Wonderful ensemble cast and terrific writing. The stories are excellent. I really enjoyed this set.
