Drew Barrymore's father tries to kill Matt Dillon 65 "One killer on ice" Gunsmoke Not Baldwins Rust

Gun smoke first aired on TV in 1955 and ran for 20 seasons till 1975.Color started in 1966.There was a total of 635 episodes in the 20 seasons total.. The majority were filmed in black and white..

[@DanneyTanner]

In all due respect folks this is how to properly aim a gun on a movie set.Any direction but not directly at a indiviual. Only if Baldwin had 10% of Matts brains then "Rust" may have been completed.

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

Audiences would piss their pants laughing seeing movies shot that way today. The bar has been raised a few notches higher.

[@tomjonas7384]

I never thought of that thanks for pointing that out I watched that scene three more times and I could see Matt Dillon’s gun was Pointed at the ground

[@wendystewart1867]

@Jon Smyth what happened with Alex wasn't in any way funny ,but your comment was hysterical.I couldn't stop laughing.

[@GrumblingGrognard]

BS , it looks totally staged. Get a clue and stop trying to blame Baldwin as an actor because you disagree with him politically. It is so, so transparent. If you REALLY want to make a point blame him as the PRODUCER. Seriously, get a clue.

Great acting from Mr. Barrymore. Also great background music.

[@muffs55mercury61]

John Drew Barrymore (aka John Barrymore Jr) had some great roles in the 1950s & 60s but sadly destroyed that and himself as time went. The curse of his father who died when John Jr was just 10. One great thing about this show is Miss Kitty didn't take any crap from anyone. Great example here.

[@kankakeenorm2268]

This gunfight, in my humble opinion, is absolutely the best of all westerns and I have seen a whole bunch 🙌 There is something about Barrymore and his horse farm dream. Well done !!!

[@margaretjiantonio939]

Great actors ran in the family. John Barrymore Ethel Barrymore & Lionel Barrymore to name a few.

[@TrooperSC]

Barrymore was great in this episode and even better in the episode titled Seven Hours to Dawn where he and his gang take over Dodge City. He was also terrific in an episode of Wagon Train playing a character named Ruttledge Monroe who is bent on revenge.

[@muffs55mercury61]

Like his family before him, Barrymore was a fine actor and had some good roles during this time of his life but sadly his demons got the best of him.

Matt walked into a room and knew he could take every man in that room ! What a feeling!

I just love it when Marshall Matt Dillon tells it like it is. He's a wonderful actor, made sure justice was served. It's a shame that we don't have any other people like him . I sure really truly honestly would give him a thumbs 👍up over a 100 of times or more . With a Marshall like James arness he always done a wonderful job 👏🙌❤👌😀👍.

[@jllrue]

NOT real Dummy! It's called acting!

[@theequalizer9154]

I am sure someone said this before me, but Drew Barrymore's Father, John Barrymore Jr., was the great John Barrymore son. John Barrowman Sr. was very popular in silent films, and retained his Fame up until the early talkies movies. Just a little history fact.

[@DanneyTanner]

And Drew Berrymore is Johns Jrs. daughter.

[@clydephillips2878]

This is Drew's dad?? She's a natural then. That explains her acting skills. He play this part so well, I wanted to see him survive just to see him appear on other episodes. That blank kinda look he'd get to emphasize the fact that he was thinking, really trying to recall something,was convincing

[@jamesdunn2214]

Drew's father was the son of the "great profile", John Barrymore. Maurice Barrymore was an actor as well, he was his grandfather. His uncle was Lionel Barrymore, his aunt, Ethel Barrymore. Both Academy Award winners. A family of acting royalty.

[@DanneyTanner]

I think Drews father was John Berrymore Jr and John father was John Sr..Also a actor.

@@DanneyTanner All correct. John Sr. was great friends with Errol Flynn. The two had much in common.

[@Nozzlejockey2]

This was a great episode. but Look at this gun fight closely, or slow it down, Matt shoots his knees or foot and then rose the gun up to make it look like he shot him in the mid section. LOL Nice recovery Matt.

[@DanneyTanner]

Saftey on the set is number one.Never point gun at a person you dont intend to kill.They needed a differant angle on the camera for sure.

[@timothyl8237]

Nice catch

[@michaelstallings5824]

i still watch gunsmoke daily on many formays like me tv the inspiration channel,and tv land..my one complaint about all these fotmats is that i wish they would operate on a weekly schedule {i.e} have a regular tv line up for each day of the week. maybe have gunsmoke air on a friday mornings and evenings, instead of multiple times a day everyday..and many other of sows as well..it gets repeitive when they air the same episodes so close togeather.

[@hannahskipper2764]

It's too bad that Matt walked in after Kitty walked out of the scene. I love the look she gave that scumbag. I'm just sorry Matt didn't catch him flitting with her though. Oh well, Matt's glare was great even without him knowing John Barrymore had been up to no good with his girl just before he came in.

[@jameshoran8]

Matt had no desire to arrest him or he would have had his gun drawn when he entered the bar. He wanted the gunfight. Andersen was way slow and was much faster earlier in the episode. Barrymore slowed up so Matt could get off the first shot and Arness never aimed the gun at him as even a blank discharge can fire off a fatal projectile. Ask Brandon Lee. In the next season, Matt killed off Barrymore's character, Mason Storm, whose gang was robbing the town dry. John Drew Barrymore was awesome in both episodes.

[@raymondtuckerjr1886]

Dang Matt, you didn't HAVE to kill him. He was short enoug, slow enough and CLOSE enough....should have just slapped him, let him live to play piano.

[@michaelproctor8100]

Barrymore was signed to act in a episode of Star Trek (The Alternative Factor) but he never showed up the day shooting started and his agent didn't know where he was. The producer's had to scramble to find a replacement in the form of Robert Brown. The Star Trek producers took Barrymore to a hearing in front of SAG members where Charlton Heston was president. Barrymore offered no explanation for his conduct and so they took away his SAG card for 6 months.
