This weekend I bought two DVD movies staring Randolph Scott from the 1950's. When I was a kid in the 50's I used to love going to the Drive In Theatre with my folks and watching Randolph Scott Westerns . In fact , if truth be told, I was a fan of Randolph Scott before I was a John Wayne fan. Click on the title above for a link to Scott's Bio on IMDB.com In 1973 the Statler brother had a hit called Whatevere happened to Randolph Scott? the lyrics are as follows:
Everybody knows when you go to the show You can't take the kids along You've gotta read the paper And know the code of G PG and R and X And you gotta know what the movie's about Before you even go Tex Ritter's gone and Disney's dead And the screen is filled with sex Whatever happened to Randolph Scott Ridin' the train alone Whatever happened to Gene and Tex And Roy and Rex, The Durango Kid Oh, whatever happened to Randolph Scott His horse plain as could be Whatever happened to Randolph ScottHas happened to the best of me Everybody's tryin' to make a comment About our doubts and fears True Grit's the only movie I've really understood in years You gotta take your analyst along To see if it's fit to see Whatever happened to Randolph ScottHas happened to the industry Whatever happened to Johnny Mack Brown And Alan Rocky Lane Whatever happened to Lash LaRue I'd love to see them again Whatever happened to Smiley Burnette Tim Holt and Gene Autry Whatever happened to all of these Has happened to the best of me Whatever happened to Randolph Scott Has happened to the industry
