Alexander for her terrific book on Rocky Lane and for calling our attention to it back in 2014. I've added a link to the book at the end of the post, above. I'm glad to know others also recognize how good Rocky was, and what a big part he played in the Iverson Movie Ranch story.<br />You can find a slightly more detailed post about Rocky Lane by copying this url:<br />https://iversonmovieranch.blogspot.com/2014/06/i-am-mister-ed-no-not-me-movie-cowboy.html<br />Swami Nanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12917532765036907178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306223274540306366.post-54681921715306669952023-07-20T09:15:33.459-07:002023-07-20T09:15:33.459-07:00I read Linda's book and it's very good. I ...I read Linda's book and it's very good. I think that Rocky was the best of the B-western stars: he looked great, was physically imposing and had a great speaking voice. He could also act, a number of the other western stars couldn't. He probably performed more of his own action than a lot of the others. Anytime you saw Rocky on his horse Blackjack it was almost always him, not a stunt man. He could really throw a punch and looked better than his double, Tom Steele in the fight scenes. His Republic films are terrific: no singing, no mush and no lame humor. Eddy Waller was very good as his "kind of" sidekick. Give Rocky a shot , a number of his movies are on youtube.Gerry Dooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913850677370780978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306223274540306366.post-76144493445533818612014-06-17T14:19:58.059-07:002014-06-17T14:19:58.059-07:00A new book is out on Allan "Rocky" Lane ...A new book is out on Allan "Rocky" Lane on July 4, 2014.
