In 1967, someone thought it was a good idea to cast Roy Orbison in a Civil War-era Western about gold robbers as a guy with a rifle built into his guitar.
The movie - The Fastest Guitar Alive - played on TCM yesterday. If you missed it, this clip should give you a pretty good idea what it was like.
Roy didn't so much act - as stare at the cue cards and read them monotonously. The film only comes alive when Roy sings, and even then falls back down to Earth when he's expected to dance (an activity for which he has no obvious talent).
I guess Roy was still a few years away from his "wear sunglasses and act like a robot" phase - which, had they gone in that direction here, probably would have at least helped the movie achieve cult status.
Bonus: Here's a great site devoted to the film.
