The movies always had unlikely casts and even less likely titles: "Slim Pickens Patti Page Duke Wayne and Charlton Heston in another classic Western: 'Kiss My Saddle Horn'!" Carson originally played the fast-talking huckster in his own voice (as Honest Bernie Schlock or Ralph Willie) and finally settled on a nasal high-pitched smarmy drone reminiscent of Jackie Gleason's "Reginald Van Gleason III" character.
