A while back I posted the top photo in this post. It's a still from the AMG film Cowboys and Indians, released in 1958. The plot was simple: two cowboys come across an Indian sleeping on the ground with his horse tied up nearby him. The guys decide to steal his horse. But the tables turn when a second Indian comes to the rescue.
That's Joe Leitel binding the feet of the sleeping Indian played by George Savage. The cowboy on the left is Dick Dearwester and the Indian sneaking up behind Joe is Richard Collier.
See if you can spot the differences In the second photo before you read this paragraph. Joe and George are still wearing their respective costumes, but Richard and Dick have switched outfits. It looks like Dick is having second thoughts being so exposed, but Richard seems to enjoy his new role.
Speaking of costumes, do you think those pants Joe is wearing were his own? I think so. He must have been a helluva sight walking around LA in those tight, button down jeans.
