...Velvet. Larry says Monty did no stunt riding, and the book Liz, by C. David Heymann, lists Billy Cartlidge as Taylor's stunt double. Monty also claims that James Dean, a great buddy, lived with him before the filming of East of Eden. But, no, it seems; Dean's pal was Tony Vargas, according to Renebome and Vargas himself. California rancher Bill Dorrance, an early teacher of horse whispering, was "like a grandfather to me," Monty writes. But Dorrance's son Steve says his father hardly knows Monty.

Eventually the whole village is in on the scam. To Jones' credit, the locals are not afflicted by the Irish curse--terminal whimsy--and his rendering of their sly cupidity as they grasp at good fortune...
