Another guy turned cowpoke is boy singer Vic Damone, but not on the screen. MGM wanted some still shots of Damone in cowboy clothes. Vic asked studio wardrobe to let him wear a pair of Clark Gable's high heeled boots for luck. When last seen he was still stuffing paper in the toes, getting them down to size.
