Vintage Paperback - Burial Of The Fruit by David Dortort

Avon (1951)

[gregorygalloway]

The Lusty Men premiered in San Antonio, TX on 1 October 1952.

Based on Claude Stanush’s 1946 Life magazine article on cowboy Bob Crosby, screenwriter Horace McCoy spent 5 months on the rodeo circuit, and co-writer David Dortort was a former cowboy.

Due to Susan Hayward’s schedule, filming began before the script was finalized and Robert Mitchum and director Nicholas Ray wrote scenes as they went along. Producer Jerry Wald, along with writers Alfred Hayes, and Andrew P. Solt were also brought on to write, all uncredited.

After seeing the original ending, Wald ordered a “happier” version filmed and legend has it that Mitchum had his assistant steal the film can of the new ending and burn it.

“Michael came from a family that was not functional. It was a dysfunctional family. And he bore the scars of that. He was a wonderful, very handsome young man and a great athlete. But psychologically he had been wounded, he had been scarred.

And the most marvellous thing in the world to watch was scenes between him and Lorne Greene: the compassion and the understanding and the love.

You know on a motion picture and television set the crew has seen everything in the world, right? And yet they were struck silent by the relationship that developed between these two.

Michael had found his father.”

(David Dortort begins to cry.)
