Pecos
Bill
Written
September 8, 2007
One
of the older videocassettes on my shelves is an episode of Tall
Tales and Legends called "Pecos Bill: King of the
Cowboys," taped on a Hollywood soundstage in 1986. Having
first seen the hour on Showtime, I recorded it when a children's
channel repeated it in 1994. Now I've captured some frames, as
you see below.
|
The
stars in funny hats were (L to R) Martin Mull and Rebecca DeMornay,
with Steve Guttenberg as Bill. |
 |
|
Also
in the cast was Megan Mullally (L) as one of the annoying sisters
with squeaky voices. |
 |
|
I've
noticed various interesting details. For example, in a
dramatic night scene, twice in 20 seconds Rebecca comes up close
behind Steve; then, because he's in her light, she has to back off to
escape his shadow. |
 |
|
Also,
there seems to be an "L" missing from the copyright
date. The program was not really produced in 1936 at
least, I think not. |
 |
Mostly,
however, I enjoy watching the beautiful Rebecca DeMornay at age 27
(three years after Risky Business) and the changing
expressions on her face. |
