Randy and those cute young guys


ever notice in all these movies, Scott always befriends and chats up the hot sexy young guys. If they're a baddie, he even tries to reform them and offers to let them ride with him. Oh well, his wife has usually been killed in these movies and I guess a piece of ass is a piece of ass!

Randolph Scott wasn't gay. He just happened to share an apartment with somebody who was bi or gay. Young men normally didn't live alone in the 1930s if they were not married. There is nothing in the man's life to suggest he was gay or had male partners he was married to the same woman until death.

As for your smart assed point it is obviously over your head that a good decent man might see something good in another and try to help him or metnor him for his own good. A major theme in many of these films.

It is a theme in "Ride the high country" also so i guess that makes Joel McCrae a gay man also?

It's over your head stick to car crashes and porn.

You are a total jerk.

Maybe in your world every single thing revolves around sex, thankfully that is not true of everyone's world, but I believe other considerations entered into the picture. Scott was probably considered pretty elderly in 1959, having been around so long, and producers probably wanted to add younger characters into the mix to boost box office.
