- Warner Brothers classic TV westerns were launched with CHEYENNE starring Clint Walker. With a workload of 39 hour long episodes needed for the weekly time slot, studio executives launched a rotating companion western starring Will Hutchins as roving law student Tom Brewster in SUGARFOOT. What was it like on the busy lot? What kind of man was Clint Walker? How did Jack Warner treat his stars? When SUGARFOOT ended, how did Will feel when he appeared with James Arness as a hunted killer on GUNSMOKE in the classic episode "Blind Man's Bluff?" As a Warner Brothers contract player, Will co-starred in several hit movies including two classic war films, LAFAYETTE ESCADRILLE, directed by Oscar winner William Wellman and featuring an exciting cast of young talent, including Clint Eastwood and William Wellman, Jr. portraying his father! Hutch was prominently featured in the true story of the WWII fighting force MERRILL'S MARAUDERS starring Jeff Chandler and directed by the great Sam Fuller. Will also starred with Jack Nicholson in director Monte Hellman's cult favorite, THE SHOOTING. All this and more in an exclusive A WORD ON WESTERNS zoom interview done April 2021 with Will Hutchins in New York and Rob Word in Hollywood.

I'll never forget Sugarfoot.... even they are long ago passed my grandparents loved the show so much they named their beautiful blond pekingese SUGARFOOT. great to see Will.
What a wonderful episode. Mr Hutchins has an incredible memory. I appreciate all the pics of Clint Walker, he was the most handsome man in Hollywood. He seemed to be such a good man too. It's a shame what the movies have turned into since those days.
Seemed like a lovely man. Really only know him from Dirty Dozen
As I've said before, my favorite thing about Will Hutchins, outside of his work, is that he is also just a fan, like me.
As my father used to say, He's a real person.
No words can ever express what interviews such as this mean to me and I’m sure many others who grew up as I did in the 1950s and 60s. Will Hutchins, Clint Walker and all of the Warner Bros. western stars are part of our growing up years and bring back so many fond feelings and memories. And like Will said at the close of this interview in reference to you Rob…”You are the master.” From the first time I ever saw him on the screen I sensed a true genuineness and very likable person. And now over 60 years later I can still say that. Thank you again for sharing another great video interview.
We really appreciate your wonderful comments! Will is exactly the person you watched as "Sugarfoot"...it wasn't much of a stretch! Glad that you grew up with these super heroes...I did, too! Thank you for your words of support! Babs
Thanks, Rob, for another great video about great guys. Will Hutchins was not only a very good actor but also very funny. Thanks again.
Thanks, John.
This was one of your best interviews. Always loved Will and Sugarfoot. What a character, especially for 91 years old. " It added ambulance to the movie.", Will could have been a comedian. I didn't know he was a real circus clown. Keep them coming. Your shows should all be enshrined into the Library of Congress, for future generations.
Thank you for your kind comments! Will is pretty funny and we have had lots of laughs over the years! Thanks for watching!! Babs
I so agree with Ron H. These interviews are precious.
Rob. I loved your interview with Will Hutchins and I really liked his memories of Clint Walker!
Thanks, Linda. Me, too.
Loved Sugarfoot growing up, and all the other western shows as well! Will Hutchins was especially funny in Clambake with Elvis Presley.
Nothing is greater than waking up early with a great cup of coffee and watching Will Hutchins being interviewed by the great Rob Word. I've come to know Will Hutchins over the years and he is the kindest, most genuine, and funny-as-all-get-go person I have ever come in contact with. Another great interview highlighting Will's incredible career and his interactions with so many of the great legends we have come to love and who we have sadly lost over the years. Will is a down to earth likable guy with a smile on his face, quick wit, and contagious laugh that is so uplifting and refreshing in this divided world we live in. One of Will's films that rarely gets mentioned is Claudelle Inglish, a dark and tragic film that has many components of what makes a great film: characterization, setting, mood, cinematology, and good dialogue. Will gives a magnificent and memorable performance in this film. I would love to hear what others think of this movie. Of course, my heart always goes back to Sugarfoot and the adventures of Tom Brewster, a student of law who brilliantly combines the merits of a cowboy hero: bravery, fortitude, quick on the draw, and a moral code we should all strive for. In a few more words I will summarize by saying that, I LOVE THIS MAN DEARLY.
Hi, Terry! Wow...Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Our Boy! We are so grateful that we can call you our friend...you are a very special part of our lives, even from across the miles! Love you...Babs and Will
Love Westerns and all the actors. I used to watch them with my Dad when I was a little girl. I still watch them today. Maverick, Cheyenne, Gunsmoke, James Garner, Clint Walker, Dale Robertson, Clint Eastwood, Wagon Train, you name it I've watched it and still do.
Good for your Dad and you, Terri! Thanks. I'm still watching them, too!
The mention of Sam Fuller ...directed one of the BEST westerns of the 50s..."Run of the Arrow"
You bet, Buxx. Have you seen my interview with H.M. Wynant about making RUN OF THE ARROW? It changed his life. Thanks.
@@AWordonWesterns No, haven't seen it...I will look it up, thanks
Will Hutchins has a charming, positive attitude towards life. He is a very likeable man.
It's no coincidence that the decline in popularity of Westerns has matched a similar decline in the traditional values of America. Will, Clint, James and the rest represented an ideal that seemingly few aspire to today. And what we've gotten in their stead is something no kid can look up to. Much to the detriment of our country, and that truly is a shame.
Take heart, friend. Whenever a western is made now (though they be few and far between) the mystique still remains, even when the film fails to make full use of it. As long as its history is recalled and the imagination may wander over the vast emptinesses of our plains and deserts and wonder about legendary times and extraordinary people, there will be a place in our hearts for the western.
Thanks, Darryl. Have you seen the new western OLD HENRY? Great script, scenery and performances, especially Tim Blake Nelson ("Buster Scruggs") as Old Henry.
@@AWordonWesterns I've not, but I will now. Thanks, Rob.
@@AWordonWesterns I just watched the trailer. Good God A'mighty! Good to see Dorff on the silver screen again.
Will is so sharp with such an amazing memory for big and small details.
Yep, KK. It sure makes for an entertaining conversation. Thanks.
MAN, I grew up watching all those cowboys & more. I went to school with Dusty Rogers at Mount Low Military Academy in Pasadena, what a great era in America.
Loved this. Loved watching Sugarfoot growing up in Ireland in the early 60s. Thanks for this.
Glad you enjoyed it.
More greats! Clint Walker and I shared Birthdays, several years apart. He's still one of my role models today. I think the film Fort Dobbs, is the quintessential Clint Walker, showing him as he lived his life.Merrill's Marauders is another favorite film I watch annually. 👍👏🙏🇺🇸
Grew up watching sugarfoot..will is such a fabulous guy..thanks again rob for bringing these cowboy legends into our lives..
Thanks, Blue.
Raining, cold and damp out today. However, with WOW on the small phone screen, there's much sunshine and warmth filling the room inside with my western heroes. Thanks for sharing
Oh wow, Gerard. Thanks!
Enjoyed seeing Will again after all these years. Loved watching him in Sugarfoot.
Born in the late 50's these shows and these actors are my very first memories of television. It was the best of times back then and I'm so glad to have experienced it first hand . Thank you Mr Hutchins for putting yourself out there to entertain us all . Great video as always ....... but this one is kind of special !
Sugarfoot was a unique character. Much like Wii Rodgers . Use to watch the Cheyenne Show every week. Great times and great heroes.
I love to hear Will Hutchins stories. I hope we get some more interviews with him soon. Loved to watch Sugarfoot when I was a kid. I don't understand why it's not shown on one of the western channels. I guess I need to find a DVD box set of the series. Thanks Rob for keeping westerns alive for us.
Thanks, Wayne. I, too, wish some channel would run SUGARFOOT. Just hearing Will talk about it conjures up some nice memories. Here's the link for the rest of Will's interview. th-cam.com/video/uaMTZr-ZGUk/w-d-xo.html
Hi, Wayne...Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment! We, too, wish that some channel would pick up "Sugarfoot"! Don't know why they don't...Amazon has the series for sale, and it is well worth the price of admission. Will gets no money for any of this...those contract players never benefitted from residuals or royalties! I encourage you to buy the 4 seasons...you won't be sorry! Thanks again...Babs
I can still sing along to the Sugarfoot theme song. Thanks for more great memories.
This brings back such good memories of my younger days.
Great stuff. Will has a great memory pulling names out from everywhere. Strange he made a sitcom hey landlord after so many years in Westerns.
He also starred in the forgotten 2nd BLONDIE TV series, with Patricia Harty and Jim Backus as "Mr Dithers."
Wow, what an incredible episode, Rob! This is the second interview I've seen you do with Will Hutchins and I would gladly watch much more, because he's such a great storyteller. The years do not seem to have dimmed his memory or sense of humor and I feeling he could keep recounting these stories for a long time without running out of material. Great interview, Rob, and as Will said, "You are the master", when it comes to doing these interviews and getting the most from your guests. Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview!!!
Thanks very much, takk. Will was very kind in his conversation with me and his comment, too.
@@AWordonWesterns Thanks, Rob. Will seems like a great guy, just like his character in 'Sugarfoot'!
@@takkmoran9770 Thank you for your wonderful comment! Will's mind is as sharp as a tack and he gives me a run for my money when it comes to show biz trivia. We appreciate your kind words! Babs and Will
@@barbarahutchins8496 Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply, Barbara! Will was a hero to so many back in the day and remains so even now. May you both have peace and happiness for years to come!!!
I always enjoy hearing the stories from your guests. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Ginny.
Will Hutchins has really aged well! His mind is sharp as they come and he has a fantastic memory; he didn't stumble or even hesitate with anything you asked him. He was clear and you could tell that he really enjoyed your interview. We can't any of us get enough of all those stories either. I didn't realize that Will was a 6' footer but when you have so many giants at the same studio you look small beside Clint Walker at 6'6" for sure. Anyway he's doing great at 91 and I hope he has plenty more birthdays. Thank you Rob.
Oh, Wayne...Your comments warmed our hearts! Thank you for your kind words! It's true...Will is still as sharp as a tack and makes up Haikus every day to entertain me! We've had a lot of fun over the years and it's still a work in progress! We really appreciate your input here! Best regards, Babs and Will, too!
@@barbarahutchins8496 I didn't expect to hear from either you or Will so I am pleasantly surprised and throughly over joyed at your response. Have a wonderful holiday season. Always a fan since the first time I saw Will when I was just a kid in the 50's. God bless you both!
Will is a delightful man and a great story teller. Back then the western actors seemed to support each other. Very interesting interview. Thank you for keeping these stories alive!
The legendary Will Hutchins! Great actor. Loved most everything he was in. Thanks for this interview!
Fantastic interview with Will Hutchins, he’s just a delightful guy, Rob. Just a little tidbit, Rob, I went to the same high school as Nick Nolte, Westside high school in Omaha, Nebraska. I had a teacher back then that was one of his teachers, and he’d tell a few stories about him.
Awesome, Greg. Do you remember any?
@@AWordonWesterns only a part of one. He and the head football coach got in a verbal match from something he did during the field of play, well, he wound up quitting the team and walked off the field in the middle of a live play. He had a bit of a hot head. A friend of mine in high school mother graduated with him in 1959.
Love this interview with Will Hutchins! He is so loveable & humble. I agree with Will, "Clint Walker is the greatest." These western stars have brought us so much joy & happy memories. God bless.
Will Hutchins is an American treasure.....as WB archivist I first met Will about 40 years ago when he came to USC to check out all the SUGARFOOT photos we had and a friendship between he and Babs began.....my wife did a school read-in in the Lennox School District and Will and Barbara were there......we've spent many grand days at their home on Long Island, but what's impressed me the most are how good Will's performances on SUGARFOOT remain....lawyer, fist fighter, quick gun, heartsick lover, comic relief.....Will did it all and those performances will last forever.......thanks for posting this, Rob, and keep your Word going....us western lovers need our fix....
@@leithadams263 Howdy, Leith! Thank you for this lovely post...glad that you figured out how to comment! I just discovered it here! We still have all of the memorabilia that we found in those first visits with you at USC. It was the beginning of a collection that we probably never would have amassed otherwise. Most of all, we are thankful for your long friendship, knowledge and generosity. As a historian you are top drawer and as a friend you are treasured by us both. Thank you for everything! Big hugs, Babs and Will
What a great bunch of guys and Will was a big part of the times.
I would like to see something on Jeff Chandler as it seams he is overlooked.
Hi, Lee. I put together an episode entitled UNLUCKY 13 WHO DIE TOO YOUNG featuring Jeff Chandler. Hope you like it.
Sugarfoot and The Rebel were two of my favorite westerns because I could identify more with the younger Will Hutchins and Nick Adams.
I watched my first sugarfoot episode a month ago I really really liked it I can't believe it's not shown more I believe it's right up there with gunsmoke will Hutchins was great I'm buying every season can't wait to start watching them .
excellent....will hutchins....wonderful
Always a pleasure to see and hear from one my favorite tv stars from childhood.
All we had in the 50's & 60's was an old Black & White TV that took about 15 minutes to warm up. Then another 20 minutes to adjust the vertical and get the roll down to once every 10 minutes. I didn't even know Wizard of Oz was in color til high school; However, never missed an episode of Cheyenne, Sugarfoot, or Bronco. Thanks Rob.
Rob, I love how you let your guest talk. Thank you for great interviews!
thanks, John
I've never seen this actor's work, ( I was born in 1961) Although, I am a Sam Fuller fan. Next, X I watch, "Merrill 's," I'll look for him.
This has to be one of the top if not THE top interviews I’ve seen you do. What a wonderful character shows through in this Will Hutchens segment. I was preteen to early teens during the “Sugarfoot” era and a loyal fan of the cowboy heroes. This interview leaves us feeling good as opposed to the disappointing negativity dominating most all media nowadays. Thanks
Thanks, Kay.
Thank you, Kay! I grew up with all the sensational TV cowboys, too, and I'm grateful that I have those memories. Will and I appreciate your kind comments! Babs
god bless you rob,those guys were my hero's.now you are to.
What a character. This was so enjoyable.
Great interview, Rob! What a lovely and delightful man! Loved to watch Surgarfoot as a little girl. Thanks!
He had a big part in the Elvis movie Clambake, he was very funny. Good memories.
Sugarfoot was my favorite of that trilogy of westerns.
A nice and funny man ! Love to hear his stories 🙂🐎🇺🇸
Will Hutchins made a very distinctive appearance in the crazy 1973 TV Supernatural/Airplane Disaster movie "The Horror at 37,000 Feet" with fellow western stars Chuck Connors, Buddy Ebsen, and William Shatner.
I never understood why Will wasn't a guest star in TV shows like "The Rockford Files" or even "The Fall Guy" where it seems like his persona would have worked well.
This was a wonderful interview and I hope to see a Part II and even a Part III. Will has been a terrific font of knowledge over the years about Westerns and he definitely has plenty of more stories to tell.
Thanks, David. I agree. Will would have been awesome and should have guest starred in so many other shows, There’s a link at the end of this interview for the rest of the zoom I did with Will. Enjoy.
I wish he and all the other folks who toiled at the myriad thankless jobs in Hollywood, looking for the big break, were paid enough to be comfortable. Will's car was ripped off, putting him on a bicycle for a dozen years. Maybe Elvis gave him the Harley.
Great interview. It's good to see that Will is still with us.
We absolutely loved this interview with Will "Sugarfoot" Hutchins ** corrected. What a great character he is, great stories, a real treasure trove to mine. Would love to hear more. Thank you Mr. Word for bringing to all of us fans of the old westerns such nuggets of those golden years. It would be so terriffic if they would make movies or series like they used to. But alas, who could write them like that. Or, what characters would they be able to find today that could play such parts with such depth in a convincing way? Perhaps, Mr Word, you and your friends could mount up for a couple advdntures to be captured infront of the cameras for all of us fans to watch. Lord knows we all could use some funfilled, wholseome, patriotic American, western intertainment in these times we are livin in. God bless you all, and thanks again.
Sugarfoot was portrayed by the person seen in the video, Will Hutchins.
Thanks, Matt and Sarah. There may be some "adventurous" footage shot last month of me mounting up in the Alabama Hills of Lone Pine with Bruce Boxleitner, Bobby Carradine, Darby and Shan Hinton and Lisa McCrea. If it's any good, I'll post it.
@@JW...-oj5iw yes, my mistake. Sorry for the brainfert.
@@JW...-oj5iw ** corrected. Thanks for bringing the error to my attention.
@@AWordonWesterns PLEASE DO! We absolutely love you and appreciate you so much. It is awesome that you all got together, such fantastic company. Would love to be at the campifire where you all gathered, viewing it online would be such an awesome treat, and perfect no matter what 'quality' --- and we mean that in all sincerety!
Will Hutchins played so many characters, in so many TV shows and movies. Sometimes he was a star and sometimes a bit player. He was a working actor who rode the highs and lows of that lifestyle. He did various jobs to play the bills until the next time his acting could supply a bigger or regular paycheck. In this interview he shows that he was never super impressed with what he did, but enjoyed and was impressed by those whom he worked for and with. He genuinely was excited to both be involved in the process or being just a member of the audience. You set up Will, and then let him tell the stories going wherever he wanted to take it. You only interjected to emphasis certain points, or aid in recollections with a name or location. That's why this show gets the good stuff from people whom were involved in the projects, time and time again.
Thanks, Jim. Like I tell my guests, "It's not your typical interview. We're going to have a conversation." Tomorrow I'm doing a zoom "conversation" with 102 year old Nehimiah Persoff about his 6 GUNSMOKE episodes, working with Duke in THE COMANCHEROS" and other goodies. We'll see where our chat goes! I can't wait.
@@AWordonWesterns Wow. I haven't heard Persoff's name mentioned in a very long time. Amazing.
Hi, Jim! Thank you so much for your very thoughtful and insightful comments! Will has always been the same person, up, down or in the middle...I think that is why so many people have been friends and fans over the years. We truly appreciate your words! Babs
sugarfoot is wonderful!!!
There interviews are so very interesting, informative and enjoyable. I always look forward to the next one. Thank you for sharing these wonderful memories of actors I really enjoyed for years.
Glad you like them, Jimmie. Thanks.
it was great to see will talk about the ole days thanks rob for showing the interview
Will is one of the nicest guys besides robert colbert the last of wb western stars. I've been lucky to either correspond or meet quite a few stars from that era he was very nice as was clint who i luckily wrote just about a year before he passed.
Wonderful interview Robb thank you
Clint Walker was the best looking guy
Awesome
Oh My Goodness Rob, I had the biggest crush on Cheyenne and Sugarfoot, back in My much Younger day's. Sorry to have Missed Ya at Williamsburg, but Thank You so much for another Awesome Interview!!!❤❤❤🐾🐾
You knew the Youngers?
Thanks, Carolyn. We missed you at Williamsburg, too. Great fun!
Really great interview Rob! Thank You👍😊.
What a wonderful story of the comraderie that came out of so many of these films, that for the most part was a reality not just in the film. This atmosphere seems to be absent today.
Cool
Clambake, also Spinout With Elvis. He was a funny actor very 👍 good. Thanks Rob T.C.B.
Great interview! Will looks and talks almost as he did when he played in Sugarfoot!!
I'm glad Will is still with us. Do you remember when he played the part of Dagwood Bumstead, Rob?
It was 1968, Steve. Patricia Harty played Blondie and Jim Backus was Mr. Dithers.
I'd forgotten about Jim Backus.
Glad you got him to do this interview .Thanks Rob
Me, too. Thanks, John.
Will Hutchins was a great guest.
thanks, Don. I think so too!
Wonderful interview
Awe Will Hutchins, loved the interview! Wish he would have talked a little about Warren Oates….
I was in love with all these cowboys, and I was only 7 years young.
Good for you, Zee!
One of my favorites when growing up.
Good job. I didnt realize Will was still living and still is in 2024 at 94.
Yep! Sugarfoot lives! Still sharp, too. Than ks.
Well Rob, that was really well put together. I had forgotten alot of his other roles. I was a big 'Sugarfoot' fan. The connection with the Will Rogers movie makes sense. Will has a great memory and is very well spoken & polite. (Another one to keep away from Clu ) Thanks Rob, Really great work. Have a "Hoppy" Thanksgiving.
Thanks, Buddy. Hoppy Thanksgiving to you, too!
Lovely. Missed WOW.
Thank you again Rob.
Agree with Will. Rob Word is the ‘master’. Can’t begin to say how much is learned from these interviews not to mention the historical value.
Thanks, June!
It's sad that they don't stream many of the classic westerns. Growing up in the 70's all I saw was Wild, Wild, West, Bonanza, and Big Valley repeats on a regular. In the late 90's & early 00's I discovered Sugarfoot, Cheyenne, and Bronco on Starz western channel. It seems Bronco & Sugarfoot are rarely, if ever, shown anymore and there are dozens I've researched that I can never find outside of occasional bootlegs that were circulating in the time before streaming. It's a shame.
I watch Westerns daily on the INSP channel on Dish Network. Gunsmoke..Cheyenne..Virginian..Young Riders...Wagon Train and many more !! My favorite genre..❣❣
Well, THAT was fun! Now, I know this has nuthin' to do with nuthin', but all of us neighborhood kids used to play the marauders. We had no idea what the real story was, but we all had seen the film at various drive-ins, likely because all of our dads had been in the war. The woods in back of our houses made for a nearly perfect jungle for about a dozen baby boom families. I forgot all about it until today, so thanks for bringing that memory back! I bet you can't even GET toy machine guns now.
🥸 Rob, that was a great interview…I’m old enough to have seen Will in Sugarfoot back in the day …👍
great interview Rob, thank you for your hard work Sir.
Thanks, Hamid.
Rob, another gem, thanx. and Happy Thanksgiving. anyone who likes the GREEN (greatest dynasty in all of sport) is automatically OK w/ me. but this guy, who I've seen in only a handful of things (but they include that one outstanding GUNSMOKE, and 'the Shooting,' has a face in a class by itself, which makes you remember him. God bless him, he's still around . 91 according to Wikipedia. and lucid as can be. long live Will.
Thanks, Tony. It was exciting for me to have Will on the show to and I’m so glad he could share his memories. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hello, Tony! Happy Thanksgiving from the House of Hutch! Thank you for your wonderful comments...we really appreciate them! Yes, Will hasn't lost a beat and continues to be an avid Celtics fan. Best regards, Babs
@@barbarahutchins8496 Happy Thanksgiving back to you from greater Boston! thanx.
Good stuff Rob - as usual
Great as always Rob! Keep 'em coming!
You bet, Paul. Will do.
Will is about the same age (90) as my aunt in Orange County. Still as sharp as a tack and full of pep! 👍🏻👏🏻
Very cool, Kelly. Happy Thanksgiving to your family, especially your aunt! Thanks.
@@AWordonWesterns Thank you Rob. Same to you and yours. God bless.
I have always been a fan of Will Hutchins and of his series "Sugarfoot."
Me, too! Thanks.
@@AWordonWesterns I watched nearly all the Warner Brothers westerns on television. I think that they had a lot to do with my moral code in later life. However, I was a big fan of "Sugarfoot" and Will Hutchins. Thanks, for doing these interviews and videos. I enjoy them. I love seeing the old western and television stars. I wish you could have done interviews with John Russell and Peter Brown from "Lawman." Keep up the great work!
Another great interview! I still need to see Merrill's Marauders, but I'm a fan of The Shooting and all Monte Hellman's films. Will seems to have led an interesting life and it's great to get these interviews and insights for prosperity from all these wonderful different actors that have touched in sometimes small but memorable ways
The good days
I just watched the first episode of Sugarfoot last week.
Never seen the series before.
Thanks Rob.
A great first episode, Gary. Based on the movie THE BOY FROM OKLAHOMA.
Charlie Sheen interviewing Will Hutchins! Wow! 😀
Ha!!
@@AWordonWesterns You probably hear The Charlie Sheen comparison all the time?
Lots of meat in this campfire stew, compliments to Grubsteak Rob and Sugarfoot Will
Yer makin' me hungry, B'way!
@@AWordonWesterns The Smokehouse is a good place to relieve that particular problem
Would have loved to hear a story about his time on "Clambake" with Elvis
*Mr. Word, could you ask some of your interviewee's what kind of blanks they used on set? Were they the safest ones, Crimped? Just a Primer with sound dubbed in later? Or the dangerous ones with Wads? Also, how'd they keep their hearing after so many years of shooting guns?*
Ha! The reason so very many of the western film and TV stars are hard of hearing is that they DID use full load blanks. To help keep their hearing, many productions shifted to quarter loads. Still very loud, though.
Yes sir, that's what happened to my left ear. Pretty much deef in it now. @@AWordonWesterns Yup... Today, for safety reasons, I recommend Primers only with maybe some talc powder for smoke. They can dub in the bang post production pretty easy
"Sugarfoot, Sugarfoot.......easy going cattle roping Sugarfoot." Oh yeah I remember. Now we need Bronco Lane/Ty Hardin (I think)
I have got a movie DVD of
Clint Walker with
Lee Marvin Charles Bronson
Donald Sutherland Robert Ryan
Robert Webber Ernest Borgnine
and Telly Savalas in
The Dirty Dozen and I am dedicating this movie DVD as I have got
Telly Savalas taking over the role in

Growing up I'd hear folks say
' I'd rather see a sermon than hear one ".
And I'd wonder what they meant .
I came to learn that they meant encountering people like Will .
💕👍
Will also appeared in a few Elvis Presley movies.
That photo at seven seconds is VERY reminiscent of Pale Rider. John Russell and the deputies.
But, JW, they are the Good Guys!
@@AWordonWesterns ... Absolutely, when the photo was taken. Later, they decided it was more profitable to run a protection racket. That is until they came up against a sledgehammer and pick handle wielding preacher. Ice. Ice!
Was it called tender foot also
no a sugar foot someone who is trying to work his way up to tenderfoot
@@rogerkirk1914 Actually, "Sugarfoot" WAS called "Tenderfoot" when it aired in the U.K. and Australia. I got it from the horse's mouth, my husband Sugarfoot. Thanks for watching! Babs Hutchins
Oh, boy. Someone's on the ball! Thanks, Babs.
Clint Walker had it all but he never made it big; I don't think he played the carnal Hollywood Babylon butt blaster games with producers and directors for favors like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eastwood, Bronson, McQueen did.
