The Adventures of

Star Date? What crap! 
We're on the Riverboat Enterprise going down the Mighty Mississip and... There are some strange things happening...
Klingons my ass! 
I'll give 'em hot .50 caliber lead!
I don't care if you say you are a Captain... 
But you make one more pass at my honey, Kirk, and I'll cut you so fine they won't be able to gather up your carcass in a seine net!
And as we bring down the curtain, the scene jumps around 100 years into the future to a small North Carolina town...
I tell ya, Captain Kirk...
If that space ship isn't moved from that fireplug by the time I load my gun... I'm going to blow your ass off!
And we now fly across the country to the wilds of Hollywood..
Let's just say...
I'm not taking any chances with you, Mr. Spock!

Here's a reprint of my post 42 at 'Brokeback Mountain' Leads Academy Awards 8 Nominations (The New York Slimes New EXTRA!) Way back in the early 1970s I was at one of those Hollywood parties and Jim Backus was there. He told the greatest stories about Victor Mature.
One was about when Backus and Mature were filming Androcles and the Lion in the early 50s. Backus said they were filming in the desert and the heat had them taking a long break from about 10AM until 4PM.
One morning about 10, Mature told Backus he had a load of TVs being delivered to a Store he owned. "Let's go check them out." Backus agreed and started to go change out of his Roman Centurion costume.
However, he saw Mature walking to his convertible with his costume still on. So, Backus put on his helmet and got into the car with Mature. They roared down a long stretch of desert road when the saw in the distance a little bar.
Mature said he wanted a drink, so he stopped at the dinky honky tonk. He got out and walked in, followed by Backus. The bartend was the only person in the bar and he looked up to see two fully uniformed Roman Centurions walk in and up to the bar.
Mature ordered a scotch neat, but the bartender was shocked deaf and dumb. He just looked at them in stunned silence.
"What's the matter?" asked Mature. "Don't you serve members of the armed services?"
I recall the entire evening being one long laugh after another as Backus told story after story of Victor Mature's wild antics. I wish I could remember them all!
Re: "Another of McGavin's early roles was that of Capt. Frederick Benteen in the ill-titled movie... “The Great, Sioux Massacre”. Benteen was in command of one of Custer's battalions at the Little Bighorn in 1876."
Yes, great cast with Joseph Cotten as Major Reno and Philip Carey as Custer...
The Great Sioux Massacre at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059244/
Yeah, we're almost out of beer!
Whoa!!!! Keep that under your hat! I hear the Slimes is working on a scoop that the Veep got Ted pregnant...
Cheepers, the resemblance is amazing. LOL.
BTW, a nice FR tribute to three great stars. Enjoyed it.
