    And of course, the screenplay for “Cattle Queen of Montana” as the poster shows in the background. Ninety-six is a good long life. RIP.

    Only just recently purchased Vol XXX and was compelled to watch The Black Scorpion four times in the last four days, unaware of this news.

    I’m counting it as a form of contact from the other side.

    RIP.

    “Cattle Queen of Montana”, as I’m sure many will remember, was also the movie that was playing in the Hill Valley movie theater of 1955 in the original “Back to the Future.” It’s actually a pretty good little Western; Barbara Stanwyck and Ronald Reagan are both good in their parts, and it also features MST3K semi-regulars Lance Fuller and Jack Elam.
