Just one of the many interesting conversations with Peter Byrne last weekend was regarding the Patterson/Gimlin film. Peter said that in 1973, he took the film to Disney and showed them the film. After viewing the film, the studio folks refused to believe that it was genuine. The reason? It was too good to have been faked on a low budget.
They insisted that it had to have been created by a foreign film studio, as the quality was so good. They refused to believe that it could have been done by two rodeo cowboys.
They stated that they could replicate it, but only with considerable time and expense, millions of dollars and a year’s worth of time. They wanted Peter to confess that it was made by some movie studio, not two cowboys by the name of Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin.
