Posts from Gorch in thread „Richard Boone“

    Peridot, you made me laugh. You mean the caveman approach really works on a woman? I don't think you'd want to be downwind of old Bors.
    Glad you appreciated the photo.

    Dobe wrote in his Ford book about working on HGWT. He said that Boone's favorite location was Lone Pine, CA., at the foot of Mt. Whitney. Boone regularly rented out a whole ranch for the cast and crew and supplied first class food and drink, mainly drink.
    Dobe says:
    "One night at dinner out there, I was sitting next to costumer Joe Dimmitt who, like all of us, was well smashed. I noticed he was looking far off with a reverent expression. He turned to me and said, 'No wonder they come up here to make movies. Look at that beautiful goddamn view.' I followed his gaze and saw he was staring at the Hamm's Beer poster with the waterfall. When Dick heard this, he was finished for the night. He laughed so hard I thought he would rupture himself".

    Richard Boone is another actor who could make me drag my carcass into a movie theater in the '60s and pony up my hard earned cash. Two of his best are:
    "Rio Conchos", one of my favorite westerns but is not on dvd and was only released on VHS in pan and scan. Fortunately for me, Fox ran it wide screen last year and I managed to record it.
    "Thunder of Drums" is offered wide screen by Warner's.
    I'm sure most of the folks on this site have seen these films, but if not, seek them out.
    As for Boone or any other actor being bisexual, I could care less.
