I just watched this episode and it was about as good aas "The Wiving"! Which is, of course, to say that it was terrible. I'm a big fan of Gunsmoke and I know that there are stinkers in every show but this program was beyond awful.
I know the reviews are the place for this. I'm sorry for delivering it in this way. Unfortunately, I doubt I have enough words to qualify.

Bad Lady from Brookline is season 10, ep 32
I'm not there yet and I haven't watched the series since I was a kid. At the rate I am going, I will be there in May 2017.

Bad Lady from Brookline is notable for one reason, and I believe this was the only instance of this sort of thing in the series' 20 year run.
Betty Hutton is in Miss Kitty's room and they're talking about Matt Dillon. During the scene Amanda Blake was sitting, and when she leaned forward her top slipped a bit too low and she suffered a "wardrobe malfunction". The producers (or censors, or whatever) left the scene in the episode but decided to blot out the "reveal", and a large black spot was inserted for a few moments across Ms. Blake's upper body to preserve her modesty.
Interesting that the scene was not reshot. It must have escaped anyone noticing until the episode was being edited, and was not replaced for whatever reason...budgeting, or perhaps Ms. Hutton was not available for a retake.
I am looking forward to seeing the black spot!
...how big was it?

Here is the censored frame... its more like a cloud or a shadow... doesnt look offensive to me.
