In 1978 HTV decided to dub three famous films into Welsh. 'Frankenstein must be destroyed', 'Shane' and 'The Sin of Father Mouret'. There was uproar, particularly about Alan Ladd, the star of Shane speaking in Welsh. Ironically during the 'golden age' of the Wild West, tens of thousands of welsh people emigrated to America and ironically recent research has found close to a hundred welsh speaking cowboys from that period many of them infamous gunslingers. In this edited clip we see only a very small part of the 45 minute long discussion, including the late Ray Davies.
Yn 1978 fe benderfynnodd HTV ddybio tair ffilm adnabyddus i'r Gymraeg. 'Frankenstein must be destroyed''Shane' a 'Le faute de l'Abbe Mouret'. Roedd ymateb ffyrnig i'r penderfyniad. Dyma glip byr o'r drafodaeth, sy'n cynnwys y diweddar Ray Davies. Mae ymchwil diweddar wedi darganfod o leiaf gant o gowbois cydnabyddedig oedd yn siarad cymraeg, rhai yn bandidos go iawn, ymysg y degau o filoedd o Gymry a fudodd i America yn ystod 'oes aur' y Gorllewin Gwyllt
