Trivia:

He fell out with Errol Flynn while filming the uncompleted "Story of William Tell," in 1953 (it was later re-edited and repackaged as a short, The Story of William Tell (1953)), but later spoke favorably of Flynn in interviews, especially so after Flynn's death in 1959, at age 50 from a massive heart attack, brought on by Flynn's severe alcoholism.
