## Resource

Gunsmoke presents “Grebb Hassle,” episode 257 of the classic CBS radio series, originally broadcast March 10, 1957. Written by Les Crutchfield and directed by Norman Macdonnell, it stars William Conrad as Marshal Matt Dillon, with Parley Baer, Howard McNear, and Georgia Ellis. After Dillon is forced to confront Alvin Grebb, he worries that Alvin’s younger brother Billy may be headed toward the same dangerous course. As the aftermath unsettles the community, Dillon tries to keep a troubled situation from growing worse. Gunsmoke presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
