As long as we are discussing Randolph Scott, I recall that he co-starred with John Wayne in 1942 in two films: The Spoilers and Pittsburg. In each film Scott and Wayne had fist fights. The no holds barred brawl in The Spoilers is one of the most memorable fight scenes of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Wayne wins. In Pittsburg they have a return match and Scott prevails. (One of the very few fight scenes lost by Wayne in his career.)

Love the Hollywood nostalgia. I’ve been raising my kids (mostly) on the sort of TV and movie fare that I started off with before cable. I’m not sure we’ve seen these two films yet, so I’ll have to look them up!
