Here's another entry in the seemingly endless list of major film projects that were announced but never came to fruition.
This announcement was made in the trade magazine Film Daily on May 27, 1964:
Chuck Connors to Film Walter Hagen Story
Chuck Connors' Ranch Productions has bought the rights to the story of golf champ Walter Hagen in association with writer Ben Wahrman. Connors will play Hagen in the film. He and Wahrman are working on the script.
