    John Ford and Woody Strode were close friends.
    Strode was one of the last people to visit Ford near his death.
    When ever Ford could fit him into a film he did.


    Thanks for the info BILL OF PA.


    Woody Strode is a respected actor here most of his participation in many legendary italian flicks.


    I like him very much in ''Spartacus'' and ''The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance''. In the last one his presence was very touching.

    Ford himself called it "The worst piece of crap I've done in twenty years"


    I second that opinion. The story was unusual and imaginative but the result was disappointing. Ironically in this bad film Stewart and Widmark had good chemistry.


    But for God's sake whose idea was to put Woody Strode to do an indian? That was very lame.
