Walter Brennan - again!


Anyone notice Brennan's over the top performance as Stumpy as being an almost carbon copy of his character, Amos McCoy from the TV series "The Real McCoys", (1957)? The series had been in production for two years when Bravo was released.
Brennan was a real ham and scene stealer, just ask Gary Cooper!

He played an old man probably longer than anyone, for decades. When it came to this role where he really was an old man, he seems more like cartoon old man inserted into a real movie.
