Well, pilgrim, let me tell you about how Old John Wayne made
uh movie in the Utah desert whilst they was surface testing
A-bombs on the Nevada provin' grounds. Most of the cast and
crew died of cancers (I recall). This was in the '50s and the
movie was THE CONQUEROR, with the Duke a-playin' Genghis
Khan.

(Mighty bold talk for a two-eyed fatman!) eh?

The movie stunk, too.
