Too bad that Audie died before getting his chance to play the Scorpio killer in Dirty Harry.
Director Don Siegel was considering casting the baby faced actor as the villain, but after Audie's demise, he went another way with Andy Robinson.
Notice Scorpio's military style boots along with his peace sign belt buckle, which I think are remnants of what Siegel had in mind for Murphy.
We deal in lead, friend.
Another little known but very good Audie Murphy western is Posse From Hell.
Check it out if you can ever find it.
John Huston must have thought Audie had box office lure or he probably wouldn't have cast him in The Unforgiven after the fiasco of Red Badge. I cna almost cede Burt Lancaster and Doug McClure as brothers, but Audie seems to be the dark haired runt of the litter. As others have noted, not a bad performance.
We deal in lead, friend.
