The Restless Gun

Entertaining series based on the Six- Shooter radio series starring Jimmy Stewart portraying a wandering gunfighter named Britt Ponsett. That series ran 39 episodes from 1953 to 1954. Several of the radio scripts were used on the televised version, much like the early TV version of Gunsmoke starring James Arness used the fine radio scripts with WilliamConrad as Matt Dillon. Always a John Payne movie fan, I was thrilled to find this series via YouTube. This was his last hurrah as a regular TV performer. He made several guest appearances on series through the 70s. John Payne passed away in 1989.
