What a wonderful clip. You are a fine actor. Ann was an old pal of mine and she had quite the time on it, She said Lillian was a lady and Bette was a star. Actually when she spoke about the film she listed you as one of the "old pros" on it. thanks for the post and keep it up!

[TexasRoss]

Thank you for the great comments. Harry Carey, Jr is indeed a fine actor and a very generous man who was an absolute delight to talk to in Lone Pine. I am sure that Ann would have some some great stories about the industry.

Thank you for your comments. You mention four great actors and it is a delight to see them in the one film. I believe the director, Lindsay Anderson enjoyed the experience, although he did find Bette Davis to be "difficult".

[Steven Davis]

the only sin of omission was in 1987 that the Oscars neglected to nominate either and/or both Lillian Gish and/or Bette Davis as a Best Actress nominee, and Vincent Price as a Best Supporting Actor nominee. However it was nice to see Ann Southern recognized as a Supporting Actress nominee.

I'm delighted to see this. I edited Lindsay Anderson's Diaries. He would have been thrilled to hear Harry speaking so well of the film. John Ford was Lindsay's hero (and by association, Harry was too)
