More on Broken Arrow query

*From: *"Michael Fitzgerald" <[email protected]>

Can anyone help me out here? According to an account I read--for what it's
worth--James Stewart was "attached" to the film Broken Arrow before Daves
was selected to direct. Stewart had some reservations about Daves since
Daves had never directed a western. So Stewart invited Ford to come to the
set and make some suggestions, which Daves used. That's how I remember it. I
forgot to note the source of this account, and now I can't find it. Does
anyone recall reading anything like this?

No telling if there is any truth to this account, but it doesn't seem too
far-fetched. Broken Arrow was filmed at Iverson Ranch and in Sedona, Ariz.,
which is not terribly far from Hollywood. I checked Daves' filmography and
it does appear he had never made a western before BA.

Thanks again,
