Featured review
Gunsmoke Takes a Shot at Annie Oakley
Annie Oakly was a TV series that was on the air from 1954-1957. The star of the series was Gail Davis, a plain looking woman who was a trick shot, and got noticed and promoted by Gene Autry. Davis also had an affair with Autry that lasted eight years, until his wife finally put a stop to it.
This episode is titled Annie Oakley, and it seems to parallel some of the scandal of Gail Davis and Gene Autry, except that it was Gene Autry who had the women fighting over him.
In this story, Kate Kinsman tells her husband that there is another man willing to fight for her. She tells her husband that Dolliver (played by John Anderson) is flirting with her. When her husband confronts him, Dolliver sarcastically says "I wouldn't put any salt on that old crow," and thus both Kinsman and her husband are enraged!
A day later, Kinsman's husband is shot dead by a Sharp's rifle. Both her husband and Dolliver owned one. Sharp's rifles began production in 1848 and ceased production in 1881. Over 120,000 were sold during that era. So there were a lot of them around, but Kinsman demands that Dillon arrest Dolliver, and she threatens to make trouble for Dillon.
This episode is not bad, except that it is hard to take any of Kinsman's demands seriously. Since the first moment, Dillon is suspicious of Kinsman, so there is not much tension or mystery here.
