Dude Ranch (1959)

You always wanted to be a cowboy. Well at the Golden Horse Ranch n Sussex you can fulfill your dreams. Crowborough, Sussex - or possibly Golden Cross, Sussex - anomalies in paperwork about location. C/U of a hand painted sign which reads: “Boot Hill Cemetery“. Camera pans across to show a couple in cowboy hats looking down at a mock up of a Wild West graveyard. They take off their hats in respect. C/U of three makeshift grave markers which read: “Rev. Theodor Batt - Hanged 1878“, “Aces Brady - Lynched 1877“ and “John Owen - Shot by Mistake 1889“. Various shots of the signs and the respectful couple. L/S of man in workaday clothes walking towards the camera (Eric Mitchell). He looks up at a sign which reads: “Golden Horse Ranch“. This is a Dude Ranch in Sussex. The man is handed a saddle by a cowboy. His flat cap is swapped for a cowboy hat. M/S of horses being led past a Saloon Bar. The Ranch has been made to look like a Wild West location. The Ranch has been built by Peter and Prudence Maso
