He knew that this might be a tough scene for Rock to do and he didn’t want him to feel uncomfortable playing a guy who was getting a little high because he’s sad about being turned down… Whatever the case, he really loved actors and was sensitive to all that we have to go through. I assumed that George was letting him do that, or it’s possible that it was actually George’s suggestion. He wanted to prepare us for it, and I noticed that Rock was drinking Scotch, and this was very early in the morning. George Stevens, the director, called me into Rock’s dressing room before we started that scene. It’s that part of the picture when Rock Hudson’s character, Bick Benedict, offered my character the chance of taking over his ranch and I have to turn him down because I had just been drafted. “I’ll never forget the day that we shot the Christmas scene. ![]()
