    This is an unusual story for actor Hal Smith in that he does not portray a drunk. This episode was interesting to me because I saw the feature in "Stan Lee's Superhumans" about a man who can draw a pistol and accurately shoot so fast that his two shots sound as one. In "The Tin Gunman," a showman is billed as "The Fastest Gun in the World"; not the West or the United States, but the world. The story gives no indication that he ever travelled abroad to validate this claim, nor does he shoot anywhere near as fast as the Superhuman. Actually, he doesn't seem to be any faster than Sheriff Hollister. In The Town Too Tough to Die, that billing is fightin' words, and the plot is pretty much predictable. One thing that seemed to be inconsistent is that Sheriff Hollister fines Johnny $10 for shooting his gun inside town limits, but Billy Denver practices in his hotel room very noisily without consequence. A highlight of this episode is the beautiful Lisa Gaye in her showgirl costume.
