Trivia
The original episode this sequel is based on was known as "Morgan", from season 15. Steve Forrest reprises the role as vengence-seeking gunman with a name change from Cole Morgan to Will Mannon, but with the same vitriol from being shot by Kitty and foiled in his robbery attempt by Matt. The only recurring villain in Gunmoke's history. Also noteworthy is the appearance of Jonathan Goldsmith (as Jonathan Lippe) who went on to become "The Most Interesting Man in the World" in Dos Equis commercials, as one of Morgan's gang.

The revolver used in the escape of the convict does not have a firing pin attached to the hammer. The floating firing pins were not used until the 20th century. See more »Quotes

I agree with others who have said the Earl Holliman character just didn't fit with the rest of the movie. As for Matt's mountain man look, I think there are many episodes in the series that suggest that if he hadn't become a U.S. marshal, he would have become a mountain man / trapper. But for any Gunsmoke fan, I think it was very special seeing Matt and Kitty back together one last time. Since Kitty wasn't in the last season of the regular TV series, this episode provided some closure to one of the longest screen romances of all time. I think the final scene with Matt and Kitty stayed true to the tone set by the TV series.
