I've read the book "What ever happend to Randolph Scott", which is a loving tribute written by his son, and you won't find anything like that in his family life. I guess the comment is meant for Scott's character in the film. That's hard to say because most of us haven't seen the film yet considering how long it has been stored away. But if you look at the other Boetticher/Scott movies, like Comance Station or The Tall T or Buchanan Rides Alone, there certainly was something there like a special male bond. There usually was a strong attraction between the hero of the piece and the heavy.
