Evil Roy Slade is a 1972 made-for-television comedy film about the "meanest villain in the West." Orphaned and left in the desert as an infant, Evil Roy Slade (John Astin) grew up alone—save for his teddy bear—and mean. As an adult, he is notorious for being the "meanest villain in the West"—so he's thrown for quite a loop when he falls for sweet schoolteacher Betsy Potter (Pamela Austin). There's also Nelson L. Stool (Mickey Rooney), a railroad tycoon, who, along with his dimwitted nephew Clifford (Henry Gibson), is trying to get revenge on Evil Roy Slade for robbing him. Although it was a 1970s made-for-TV movie, many baby boomers consider the flick a cult classic. Quotes of "He's a born showman", "A dead neighbor and all six apples", and "Your ruby red lips taste like prairie dust" are embedded in the minds of those that love the film. Its rapid-paced style of humor can also be seen in many later films, most notably Airplane!. Evil Roy Slade was released on DVD in January, 2008. LESS
