Great photo from 1943, during filming of THE DESPERADOES.
Left to right:
Director, Charles Vidor: Evelyn Keyes: Randolph Scott: Claire Trevor: Edgar Buchanan: Glenn Ford: Sally Eilers: Harry Joe Brown.
Obviously not in costume for the film. (Doesn’t Edgar Buchanan look different from his usual screen characters!)
(Sally Eilers was Brown’s wife.)
Harry Joe Brown has been the associate producer on WESTERN UNION (1941), in which Randolph Scott starred. Brown went on to co-produce over a dozen westerns with Scott. Though Scott didn’t become a producer until 1949’s THE WALKING HILLS.

Wow! That is a fantastic photo. One of my favourite movies. Buchanan and Raymond Walburn totally steal the darn thing.
Haven’t seen it in a while. Must catch up again.
Vienna, great photo. I really enjoy the photographs you post. I would think that the photo was from 1942. The movie was filmed from June-August, 1942. Glenn Ford enlisted in the Marines after he filmed his next movie DESTROYER.
You’re right. The photo would be from the filming period in 1942.
Buchanan is almost unrecognizable! I’ve not seen this one as I can’t recall seeing Scott and Ford together in a film. I’ll have to check it out.
That’s the great thing about character actors- in real life they are probably entirely different from their onscreen personas.
Noted the huge difference of Edgar in the movies and above! Most of the times he appeared as ‘bumbling’. Best regards.
Yep, he was a good bumbler!
Claire Trevor looks like a teenager and playing second fiddle again. Have not seen it in a long time and tend to confuse it with Renegades (1946) also starring Evelyn. Edgar looks almost handsome!
Correction Claire was the main female character in this an billed above Evelyn. She had previously appeared with Glenn and Bill Holden in TEXAS (1941) which I’ve never seen.
I thought Claire and Randolph looked like a young couple, arms around each other. She does look so young.
I remember,years ago seeing a behind the scenes
photo of Scott and Ford tending to a lovely young colt/foal.
I’ve never been able to track that picture down-from an old
film annual I think;.it was a real charmer!
I have another on the set photo of Scott and Ford . Will check it out in case it’s the one you refer to.
