Jimmy Stewart was right in character as the slow-talking maverick Britt Ponsett who usually blundered into other people’s troubles and sometimes shot his way out. NBC brought James Stewart to the microphone on September 20, 1953, in this fine series of folksy Western adventure. The Six Shooter mixed drama and action with comedy. Britt Ponsett ran for mayor and sheriff of the same town at the same time. And at Christmas he told a young runaway the story of A Christmas Carol, substituting the original Dickens characters with Western heavies. Britt even had time to fall in love. This collection includes 20 original radio broadcasts, digitally remastered and restored.
