!BANG! TV Report - LA to San Francisco with Dory Funk, Dick Murdoch and Bob Hope
The stewardess in the first class cabin said, to Dick Murdoch and I, "Fellows, I have been ordered by the senior flight attendant not to serve you any more beer.
It was only a short flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco. We were celebrating having just completed the wrestling scenes for the movie, Paradise Alley. The next day we were working for Promoter Roy Shires at the annual Battle Royal at the Cow Palace. We were now movie stars. (Our parts combined in the movie totaled about a minute)
We didn't notice who was sleeping covered up in the seat next to us until we landed. I got my jacket from the overhead rack and turned to leave. All of a sudden, I was nose to nose with Bob Hope. I said, "Bob, Bob Hope." Meet my friend Dick Murdoch. Dick put his arm around Mr. Hope's shoulder and said, "Bob, We have just broken into the movies.
Dick's eyes were red and the smell of beer and potato chips permeated the air. I said yeah, we just finished staring in Paradise Alley. Be sure and watch for it. Dick invited him to join us for a beer. About that time the door opened and all we saw of Bob Hope after that was his rear end hurrying down the concourse on the way to his limousine and as far away from us as he could get.
