100 | "Filmink" magazine called it "a hidden gem, one of Flynn's best Westerns." |
101 | A car pulls up to an historical marker in the desert that reads: |
102 | ROCKY MOUNTAIN, also known as Ghost Mountain. On March 26, 1865, a detachment of Confederate cavalry crossed the state line into California under secret orders from Gen. Robert E. Lee to rendezvous at Ghost Mountain with one Cole Smith, with instructions to place the flag atop the mountain, and though their mission fai... |
103 | In 1865, eight horsemen trek across the California desert, arriving at Ghost Mountain. Led by Captain Lafe Barstow (Errol Flynn) of the Mississippi Mountain Rifles. The eight soldiers encounter a man who calls himself California Beal (Howard Petrie). As a last desperate effort to turn the tide of the war, Barstow's mis... |
104 | That night, the Indians burn the stage. Next morning, a detachment of four Union soldiers and three Shoshone scouts examine the ashes. Barstow's men ambush the detachment, killing one and capturing the rest, including Lt. Rickey. From them, Barstow learns that the Union knows about their presence in California and that... |
105 | In the morning, Rickey suggests that he take Johanna to a nearby garrison before the Indians arrive. Barstow, however, hopes that Smith's men will come before the Indians do and rejects the suggestion. Near dawn, Rickey's men jump their guards. One dies in the attempt, and another's recaptured, but Rickey makes his esc... |
106 | Barstow decides to use all his men to lure the Indians away from the mountain while Johanna, Craigie and the Union trooper escape. The greatly outnumbered Rebels ride into a box canyon and turn to fight, charging the Shoshone. During the battle, Rickey returns with a troop of Union cavalry, and Johanna tells Rickey wha... |
107 | The film was originally titled "Ghost Mountain", the title of the original story by Alan Le May. Ronald Reagan badly wanted to do a Western at the time, and says Jack Warner promised he could star in one if the actor found an ideal story. Reagan claims he discovered "Ghost Story" and helped negotiate its purchase by Wa... |
108 | In March 1950 "Ghost Mountain" was put on Warners' schedule. By April the film was retitled "Rocky Mountain" and Flynn was given the lead role over Reagan, to the latter's annoyance, as he felt he had brought the story to the studio. Reagan left Warner Bros soon afterwards. (Flynn had meant to do another Western, "Cars... |
109 | In May Lauren Bacall was assigned to play the female lead under her contract with Warner Bros but turned it down and was suspended as a result. Bacall said at the time: |
110 | I turned it down because it's just not a part. It's kind of nothing. I'm not angry, I'm just incredulous. I've never been offered a role like this before. I don't want to do it and they shouldn't have to pay me. I shouldn't imagine they'll have any trouble replacing me. |
111 | She was replaced by Patrice Wymore, a dancer who had recently been put under contract to Warners. By July, Bacall would terminate her contract with Warners. |
112 | Filming started 29 May 1950 on location in Gallup, New Mexico. At the beginning of filming Flynn was engaged to Princess Irene Ghika. During filming he fell in love with Wymore. Their engagement was announced in August and they later married. |
113 | While making the film Flynn said he became interested in stories about Kit Carson and was going to make a film about Carson. However this never happened. |
114 | "The Washington Post" called "Rocky Mountain" a "good and interestingly made picture". |
115 | The "Los Angeles Times" said "it comes so close to being an exceptional figure that no one could have been sorrier than this reviewer to see it fall short... the reason is, I think, the characterizations lack forceful definition." |
116 | "Rocky Mountain" earned £125,231 at the English box office. In France, it had admissions of 1,459,012. According to "Variety", the film earned $1.7 in America by the end of 1950. |
117 | According to James Garner, the script for "Rocky Mountain" was used as the basis for the first episode of the TV series "Maverick". The film was also used as the basis for the first episode of the television series "Cheyenne" (1955) entitled "Mountain Fortress" on September 20, 1955. |

184 | Willie Wilde
--Background.
--Life.
--Later years. |
185 | William Charles Kingsbury Wilde (26 September 1852 – 13 March 1899) was an Irish journalist and poet of the Victorian era and the older brother of Oscar Wilde. |
186 | Willie was the oldest son born into an Anglo-Irish family, at 21 Westland Row, Dublin, to Sir William Wilde and his wife Jane Francesca Wilde (née Elgee) (her pseudonym being 'Speranza'). Their second son, Oscar, was born in the same house in 1854. Jane Wilde was a successful writer, being a poet for the revolutionary ... |
187 | In June 1855, the family moved to 1 Merrion Square in a fashionable residential area, where Wilde's sister, Isola, was born in 1856. Here, Lady Wilde held a regular Saturday afternoon salon with guests including Sheridan le Fanu, Samuel Lever, George Petrie, Isaac Butt and Samuel Ferguson. |
188 | In February 1864, Willie and Oscar were sent to board at the Portora Royal School at Enniskillen in Ulster, where Willie became known for his good-humour and friendliness, later being described by a classmate as "clever, erratic and full of vitality". Oscar became known to his school fellows by the nickname 'Grey Crow'... |
189 | Willie was already a student at Trinity College, Dublin when Oscar joined him in 1871, the two sharing rooms during their second and third years there. In 1876 'Willie' published several of his poems in the College magazine "Kottabos", which he also edited. |
190 | After graduating from Trinity College Willie Wilde studied law and was called to the Irish Bar, but he never actually practised law. His father died in 1876, and in early 1879 Willie and Lady Wilde moved to London, where he became a journalist, serving as a drama critic for "Punch" and "Vanity Fair", as a leader writer... |
191 | Willie was a regular guest at the Fielding Club, which during its short life opened its doors at eight o'clock in the evening and remained open all night. The club was famous for its grills, its brandy and its Pol Roger '74, but its tripe and onions on Saturdays were an especial draw. One member listed Willie among tho... |
192 | Ralph Nevill, the son of Lady Dorothy Nevill, said of Willie Wilde: |
193 | "Willie Wilde was a clever journalist who, had he been less careless in his habits, might have achieved considerable success. As it was, a number of the articles which he wrote for the Daily Telegraph were little short of brilliant, while as a talker, few could equal him. He was, however, his own enemy, and could not r... |
194 | By the time of Oscar's marriage, in 1884, Willie was seriously in debt and drinking heavily. On 4 October 1891, aged 39, Willie married a wealthy widow, Mrs Frank Leslie (1836–1914), the owner of the Frank Leslie Publishing Company in New York. She was initially attracted by Willie's humour and wit. He proceeded to spe... |
195 | On his return to London, early in 1892, Willie found that Oscar was the toast of the town for his successful play "Lady Windermere's Fan". It is believed that Willie wrote the ambivalent review of the play that was published unsigned in "Vanity Fair" on 27 February 1892 (he had previously been a drama critic for the ma... |
196 | By now Willie Wilde was in serious financial difficulties and Oscar began giving him money, but bad feeling between the brothers heightened when Oscar discovered that Willie was pestering their mother for money even though she was far from well-off. Oscar once said of Willie, "He sponges on everyone but himself." Max B... |
197 | Beerbohm later wrote: |
198 | "My sister Constance came home one day and summoned my mother and me; she was quivering to tell us what had happened. She knew in advance it was the sort of thing my mother would adore.

199 | In January 1894 Willie married Sophie Lily Lees (1859–1922), with whom he had been living. She has been described as "an emotional woman with a tendency to early panic ... she believed (incorrectly) that she was pregnant" She tried to induce an abortion by taking a powder. The marriage caused further distress to Lady W... |
