Elisha Cook's most famous movie was "The Maltese Falcon", with Humphrey Bogart, he played Wilmer, the gunsel. Kim Darby was the girl with "True Grit" wasn't she? (My memory may be playing tricks with me on this one). Mariette Hartley achieved her greatest fame in commercials with James Garner. Her first movie, "Ride the High Country" aka "Guns in the Afternoon", is a western that is fairly highly regarded by a lot of "students of film". (I'm not sure what to call them, I'll abbreviate to SOF's after this.) It was directed by Sam Peckinpah (may have been his first) and had as a theme the decline of the heroic days of the west. Jeffrey Hunter was in another movie that is highly regarded by many SOF's, "The Searchers", with John Wayne. I caught it on the tube once and confess that I could not see what the fuss was about. But some say it was director John Ford's best film by a long way. Robert Wise also directed "The Day the Earth Stood Still", a classic science fiction movie of the 50's. John Colicos was the main bad guy of the TV series "Battlestar Ponderosa".
