    Roy Rogers in TruColor and Uncut

    I believe in that photo of Eddy Waller from "Sundown in Santa Fe" the lady fixing his tie with a predatory gleam in her eye is not Marjorie Main but the marvelous Minerva Urecal.

    Beautiful Joan Marsh. To me, she always looked and sounded like Gene Tierney, though her screen career predated Tierney's by many years. She was the daughter of eminent cinematographer Charles Rosher, who won an Oscar for his work on "The Yearling"(1946). By that time his daughter had retired...
