Douglas Walton (left) and Lloyd Bridges (right) in "Calamity Jane and Sam Bass" (1949) along with Yvonne De Carlo and Howard Duff.


A bookmaker in classy clothes and a fancy top hat, he booked Sam Bass' (played by Howard Duff) bet on a horse race and shouts, "Three to One!"  Lloyd Bridges and Yvonne De Carlo (played as Calamity Jane) stood next to them.

Sam Bass won the bet after the race and the bookmaker gave him his money with a glum look on his face.

Watch the clip below to see Douglas Walton with Jeff Bridges' dad and Mrs. Munster...in COLOR!!!



Other movies where you get to see Douglas Walton in color include "Northwest Passage" (1940) and "Bring on the Girls" (1945).  You have no idea how excited I was seeing Douglas Walton in color for the first time!
