Well this is certainly one obit I never expected to see on the MTVB
In the classic western second feature Walk Like A Dragon Shigeta plays a Chinese coolie turned gunfighter:
Shigeta learns his trade from a gunslinger played by... Mel Torme?!?
Actually Torme was very accomplished, part of the "fast draw" craze in '50s Hollywood. Others included Glenn Ford, Audie Murphy, and (BION) Sammy Davis Jr, who even featured gun tricks in his nightclub act.
