Gunsmoke The Brothers (1955–1975) Online

Kitty is trading stagecoaches at a rest stop outside Dodge. She has been harassed by this man nearly all the way and was happy to get away from him. However the stage connection is late and she has to wait with the man till her stage appears. The person working the rest stop named Beal Brown tells Kitty that the man is an outlaw named Jay Wrecken and he is a wanted man. While the man tries to put moves on Kitty she resorts to finding a back room. Jay Wrecken then opens the door going after Kitty when two shots ring out. Brown and Kitty both have fired their gun and killed Jay Wrecken. Brown for the money and Kitty for self-defense.

There is a large reward for the killing of Jay Wrecken but Kitty wants nothing of the money. Brown however wants the money and advises to send it to Dodge under the name anonymous.

Into town comes Cord Wrecken, the brother of the dead man, posing as a reporter to take revenge on everyone that had anything to do with his brothers death. With the false identity it is easy for Cord to get information. With nearly everyone that knew anything about the death already killed, Ms Kitty stand alone as the last one left. Matt knows that Cord Wrecken is in town but no one knows what he actually looks like. Kitty's life is in imminent danger.

Steve Forrest is again wonderful as the person revenging his brother's death. With his semi-grin-look he is excellent as the one stalking the unsuspecting victims. Plus when we think the crisis is over when find that it has just only begun. A good watch that was interesting to the end.

Gunner Hellstrom directed this surreal gem, I am in awe as it is steeped in rich 70's thrillers atmosphere.

The guest actors are Sterling; Steve Forrest makes a charismatic killer and ogreish foghorn voiced Joe Silver is the avaricious back shooter that incessantly hassles the Marshal for the reward.

This episode is disjointed and there seem to be abrupt cuts but it works really well and it gives the pacing a nice element of the absurd. This episode is an unintentional comedy as the nervous and fidgety Mr. Brown (Silver) wants to keep a low profile but he keeps doing every stupid incongruous things like sneaking in the Marshal's office in the middle of the night and constantly looking over his shoulders. The Brothers was very well done, I watch it once in a while for a laugh.

It's remarkable how much depth and fun seasoned actors can impart in a show, the irreplaceable Steve Forrest and Joe Silver made this a real treat. Joe Silver steals the show, just the sight of him, with the giant proboscis and hearing his inhuman voice was worth the watch. I can't help but think of a crumb cake when I look at his monstrous boily face. This was the day of great character actors that could set a mood.
