MS/CU cowboy, actor, & entertainer ROY ROGERS (wearing Stetson cowboy hat, ugly checkered suit jacket, bolo tie) speaking to off-screen reporter about his new film "Mackintosh & T.J." (1975): "When he first approached me on making a picture, some of the pictures I had seen in the last year I wouldn't even want Trigger to watch so I was very cagey. I said I would being interested in making a picture if we can get a decent story. I mean by decent story something that you can get take your children & grandchildren to see & not be afraid that something's going to happen that you're going to be embarassed. I think we've got a beautiful story. It's a heartwarming story that has a lot of action in it. It's between a young boy who got himself into quite a bit of trouble. An older person that's had some tragedies in life & he's trying to move away from that & find a new place where he can put his roots down & start anew." CU Roy Rogers being asked about Trigger by off-screen reporter; Roy Rogers replies, "Well, you know, a horse's age in comparison to man is 3 1/2 to 1. Trigger's been gone-- he died in 1965. I've been to a lot of musuems in the past & seen what a beautiful job they do in mounting horses so I had Trigger beautifully mounted on his hind legs."
