However, Disney was more impressed by a scene with Fess Parker as an inmate in a mental ward of the Texas hospital. Watching Parker's performance, Disney realized he had found his Davy Crockett. John Wayne saw the film and, impressed with Arness' performance, recommended him for the role of Marshal Matt Dillon in the new Gunsmoke TV series, a role that Arness went on to play from 1955 to 1975. Them! was released in June 1954 and by the end of that year had accrued $2.2 million (US) in distributors' domestic (U.S. and Canada) rentals, making it the year's 51st biggest earner and Warner's highest grossing picture of the year. It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Special Effects, apparently 1954 audiences who had grownup on the stop motion animation in King Kong found the giant ants more terrifying because they were full sized mechanicals rather than animated minatures. It is really tempting to go with Fess Parker or James Arness but both are basically TV guys, though each has been in a few movies, and... Edmund Gwen...is probably much safer.
