HELL ON FRISCO BAY was the first movie I ever saw letter-boxed on TV.
This was on, I believe, WPIX/Channel 11, in New York in the early
1970s. I called up the station to praise them for doing so, but they
misunderstood my call as a complaint and they apologized. I persisted
in trying to explain that it was a GOOD thing, that widescreen movies
SHOULD be shown like that, but I'm not sure they got it. Someone at
that station was years ahead of his time.

While we're on the subject, DRUM BEAT is a very good western directed
by Delmer Daves and co-starring Charles Bronson as rebellious Modoc
Indian leader, Captain Jack, who fought the whites in the Pacific
Northwest (Oregon, I believe) in 1869.
HELL ON FRISCO BAY is a color/cinemascope crime drama set in San
Francisco and deals with a disgraced cop (Ladd) going after the mob.
Edward G. Robinson co-stars. So does Fay Wray.
Perry Lopez, a Hispanic actor from New York and the Erik Estrada of
his time, plays an Indian in DRUM BEAT and an Italian in FRISCO BAY.

Add "The Brotherhood of the Bell" to the list. This one is being
"withheld" by the
Ladd estate as I understand the situation.

Sorry - that was Glenn Ford. Much too early here to be thinking correctly.
