JOHN WAYNE
AS SEEN IN:
'The Beverly Hillbillies'
"The Indians Are Coming"
SYNOPSIS:
from bkoganbing at IMDb:
When Indians threaten the oil lands of that poor mountaineer who one time barely kept his family fed, it's a call to arms for Irene Ryan as Granny.
Most of this episode involved a boundary dispute that would have been settled in court, but this is the Beverly Hillbillies and television where these people are not used to city ways.
After a lot of hilarity involving some movie studio Indians and Granny sending for the best Indian fighter she knew from the screen at the very end of the episode the bell rings at the Clampett mansion. It's the Duke, but not in western gear, in a business suit. Granny is so disappointed she shuts the door on him leaving him standing on the Clampett walk.
Granny is no different than a lot of film fans who really believe the people on the screen are exactly who they are.
Good fun and the Duke got his fifth of scotch as payment.
O'BSERVATIONS:
Our guest commentator has the facts a bit wrong about Wayne's appearance, but as you'll see in our next post, he got the intent right......
BCnU!
