At 6 am I had a call come back! The actor was refusing to change that take? He liked the way he looked in it! He was English, as I am. I showed him the hammer back, hammer down... Would not go off, with hammer down.

Most of the original Lone Ranger episodes are now available on Youtube. I've watched miost of them, and I was astonished to see that -- most times -- when the Lone Ranger draws and holds a bad guy at gun point, not only is the hammer not cocked, he holds the gun with the web of his hand high up behind the hammer so he's not even set up TO cock it.
But when I was six years old I didn't notice such things.
