It was a western movie sometime in the 60's or 70's. I cannot remember the movie but would like to buy it if I find it. The line was delivered after he knocked on the door of a log cabin type house, some children answered the door and he said, "Hey kids..it's your ever lovin' Daddy returning to his ever lovin' children!"

Wow! I feel really old. I remember watching Gunsmoke in the 50's at my parent's friends house while they played cards. That's what they did in the fifty's. I remember Dennis Weaver was the deputy with a bad leg.The first shows must have been in B&W. I don't remember but I don't think they were color. Most people didn't have color tv's then, if they were even available. I don't think we had a color tv until the early 60's.

The last nine seasons of Gunsmoke were filmed in color. Gunsmoke ran on radio from 1952 to 1961 and on TV from 1955 to 1975. Color episodes began in 1966. The series was followed by five made-for-TV Gunsmoke movies which ran from 1987 thru 1993. Jack Elam guest starred on 15 episodes of Gunsmoke each a different character (with the exception of his last two episodes which were a two-parter called The River).

Yeah, he was great on the Sisters. Good lines too. That's the one where Festus said "Pack Landers is the type of feller you gotta walk upwind of even if there ain't no breeze a blowin'". My favorite was when he brought the kids those city toys and shook the flute and all his drool flew out of the end (pretty disgusting actually). I also liked when Lynn Hamilton refuses to give him the nun's money and he says they could give it to him, then he would be "sacred" spending it.

So ironic to see this question on this thread and for me to come here because I just watched this episode of Gunsmoke yesterday.
Today I saw him in Support Your Local Gunfighter too. Solid acting the way he transitioned in the Gunsmoke episode from a raving drunk, all grizzly and feral as an unscrupulous mountain man type to putting on the pious act to get at the sisters' till.
Then to see him in Support with the understated and subtle portrayal of a dimwitted rube who still retained some manner of dignity and common sense about him. Many actors miss the mark and go overboard with it, but his performance seemed grounded in reality (probably a highlight of the film for me besides kathleen freeman and marie windsor in their small supportive roles).
