Nevada Smith

I heard a new story about the movie, “Nevada Smith” this weekend on Turner Classic Movies. They said that Nevada Smith was made before “The Carpetbaggers” and held back by Joseph E. Levine who made The Carpetbaggers movie with George Peppard and Caroll Baker. Is this how history gets re-written. Harold told a different story that I blogged about earlier. “Nevada Smith” was made after “The Carpetbaggers” and Steve McQueen, played the lead since he had turned down the Jonas Cord role earlier. It was Harold’s favorite movie and it is still a great movie today; McQueen was a great actor. Turner Classic Movies, blog me and I’ll give you the HR data, from the horse’s mouth.
