Michael Blodgett in There Was a Crooked Man...

'A charming but totally ruthless criminal is sent to a remote Arizona prison. He enlists the help of his cellmates in an escape attempt with the promise of sharing his hidden loot. '

Every movie needs a little eye candy and in the 1970 western There Was A Crooked Man, that sweet candy comes in the form of Coy Cavendish played by actor Michael Blodgett.  I'm not a huge fan of westerns, but I really enjoyed this prison comedy starring Kurt Douglas and Henry Fonda.

The film was shot at Joshua Tree National Park, where the 1880's prison set was build over 4 acres of the part.  It took close to two months to prepare the set for filming.   The film includes many familiar actors from the 70's including Douglas and Fonda along with Hume Cronyn, John Randolph, Burgess Meredith and even Alan Hale who played the Skipper on Gilligan's Island.

Although Blodgett's nude scene is memorable, you have to watch for it as it's filmed as almost background to a scene focused on Burgess Meredith.  The prisoners are forced to bath, and in the scene Blodgett's Coy gets up and walks in the background as The Missouri Kid, (Meredith) fights having to bathe.   In addition to Blodgett's bare behind, there's also a quick butt scene featuring Kurt Douglass.

In addition to the nude scene, it's also notable that there are three gay characters featured in the movie. 

John Randolph and Hume Cronyn are a pair of aging gay con men who've pulled one con too many and are in the prison with Douglas in the same cell. The bickering couple eventually become a part of Pittman’s (Douglas) scheme to escape.

The third gay character is Skinner, the penitentiary guard who takes a lecherous liking to Coy.  You can understand why given how most times we see Coy, he's hot and sweaty from all the hard labour done at the prison.  Skinner tries to lure Coy into a relationship with the promise of easier work, but Coy doesn't bite.  Skinner is none to pleased and decides to have him whipped which trigger a riot by Coy's fellow prisoners.
