Another movie I watch occasionally , Island In The Sky.
James Arness and John Wayne were both in this movie, too.

When Arness was talking to a person, he was always looking down at them, ESPECIALLY gorgeous Amanda Blake (Miss Kitty).
Same for me. I wasn't afraid of the dark at all then saw that movie. Every time I walked to a friend's house after that I knew 'TheThing' was behind every bush and shrub! Later I got that that wasn't true. It had to be a BIG bush for him/it to hide behind...
John Wayne used to go bird hunting on my uncle's place in AZ. Sometimes with Dizzy Dean. Wayne liked it so much that he bought his own cattle ranch nearby. I never met him but would have liked to. I haven't ever heard of James Arness doing anything in AZ.

If I'm not mistaken that would be his Pontiac station wagon ordered special by Duke with a 4" higher roof.

Set your search engine for "images" and search "Clint Walker shirtless" and you'll see why.
I recall the roof was higher a ways back from the windshield, with glass in the area it increased in height.
It wasn't a Dodge or Ford. Mom had a Ford wagon around that time.

John Wayne's Custom Station Wagon on Display at the 'American Experience' Exhibit
If you're a fan of legendary Hollywood star John Wayne, a new exhibit at the stockyards in Fort Worth, Texas, is the place you need to be.

Those old Cheyenne tv shows with Clint riding a horse with shoulders wider than the horse.

Yeah, those very days of gunsmoke was when Dillon was also working part time as a riverboat gambler.

The "late" dates are when the originals were digitally remastered
For sure they were in four movies together, , Big Jim McLain, Island in the Sky, The Sea Chase, and Hondo.

Not questioning anybody, but if someone wants accurate info about movies there is a website called IMDB, which has ALL the facts about just about any movie or TV series there ever was. Year made, released, by who, starring who, where filmed, etc., etc. Can even look up individual actors to get a short bio. Plus, one does not need to submit any personal info to get all that, like email, etc.
That movie must have been where he developed the Matt Dillon Backhand. Dillon didn't punch many guys. He just swept them away with his backhand.
Great resource. I use it often when watching old movies. I like to look for famous actors in early roles.
