How to be a great director: Cast one of the biggest stars of the era in an iconic role. Walsh worked with Douglas Fairbanks, Marlene Dietrich, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Clark Gable and Errol Flynn.(among others) This man had a magic touch.(He rode with Pancho Villa??? How would you like that on your resume? Did this help inspire Flynn’s interest with Castro?) It’s interesting to hear what the clip says about how easily he connected with the much younger students in his later years. That earthiness is probably what created the connection with Errol and the rest of the golden age stars.
