I met Colonel Tim McCoy in 1967 at a motel in Madison, Indiana where he appeared at a local circus. Interviewed him for a radio station in the afternoon. At the time he had a daughter attending a university in Arizona! I remember he had about a dozen whiskey bottles lined up on a shelf in the motel!! Irish whiskey! He was a great man and I told him I used to watch his movies growing up in Philly....I have long ago lost the cassette tape interview :( We talked about the old western stars of the '30s. Hoot Gibson, John Wayne, Ray Crash Corrigan, Rex Bell, etc. Spoke with him for a good hour. One of my fond memories as a broadcaster.
+Alan Fritch Jealous that you met him. Been watching his movies as I'm into nostalgia. This story would be something I bet your grandkids would love to hear.
When I was growing up in Santa Barbara Ca. in the 50's I remember Tim McCoy would come up to ride in the Old Spanish Days Fiesta Parade, he would twirl his lasso rope some gal, and that beautiful palomino he rode with the long shiny tail you could tell by the cheers of the crowd coming from 4 blocks away that he was coming. What a site.
English was much easier to understand back then as most of the actors and actresses didn't speak too fast, mumble or linked words together. I could almost ignore those subtitles.
+Vintage Vera Sorry, Vera, but can't recall horse's name. It was a palomino. Tim rode the circus circuit in the 60s before retiring to his ranch in Arizona. I loved watching B westerns in the 50s on my b/w TV set....Ken Maynard, Lash LaRue, Buster Crabbe, Tim Holt, Red Ryder, and Bob Steele!Alan
Tim gave his gun to the mint guy then at the mountain top he told the ringleader he was arresting him. All the bad guy had to do who had his gun was pull it and shoot Tim! 😂
at the beginning of this show we see an intellectual under guard to work out details of some some devious plans. makes you wonder how many there maybe even today. and if einstein had such an experience. go give it a think
beautiful movie, beautiful animals, love tim mcCoy. excellent music as well
I enjoy all his movies. He is fun to google and read about. I love the eye movement under that hat! He sounds like a fun person to visit with.

Quick Draw McCoy --BANG BANG...🌵
Tim McCoy was reputedly the fastest gun in Hollywood. See just how fast at 44.49- wow!

Difficult to tell but I think Tim's horse is a beautiful palomino that he has ridden in other movies. Anyone have info on this horse? Alan Fritch?
