    and if you wonder why so many of the old kilts are size 28" waist etc. Gary cooper was so small, his leading ladies walked in a trench next to him in some movies.
    Methinks you meant Alan Ladd who was quite short...

    Indeed. Gary Cooper was not short at all. He was always reported as 6'3". Alan Ladd was short.

    Nope... Not Clint Eastwood... Not even Ronald Reagan
    He didn't wear a kilt in The Hasty Heart, but Ronald Reagan's character did help obtain one for Cpl. "Lachie" Maclachlan (Richard Todd)...

    Thanks boldhighlander... I'm still struggling to find a complete file, but with the film quality of the 30's youtube doesnt look too bad... Well not for 81 years old anyway...

    Awesome! I'm big fan of the old cowboy actors and the other movies they played in. I'll have to find this sometime.
