A little trivia, one of the Miller brothers in High Noon was played by Sheb Wooley, who wrote and performed Purple People Eater. He also went on to play Pete Nolan on Rawhide.
Also Matt Dillon and Ben Cartwright rode the same horse, which Lorne Green bought after Gunsmoke ended and he donated it to a children’s therapeutic camp.
Great comment and information. I knew Wooley recorded Purple People Eater and was in Rawhide with Clint Eastwood. i have drafted a blog about TV cowboys and Rawhide is in it.
Had no clue about the horse. Have watched many reruns of Gunsmoke.
Cannot argue with those. When Roy was on TV, I watched EVERY episode. It never occurred to me to question why there was so much gun play during in the age of the Jeep Nellybelle driven by Roy's friend, Pat Brady. Uh, is "The Professionals" a western? A war movie?
A great review of westerns.
