Dick York's back pain was a result of an accident during the filming of the Gary Cooper western Cordura (1959). York described it in a 1991 interview: "It was the last shot of the day and tomorrow we would wrap Cordura. In the scene, Cooper and I were propelling a hand car carrying several wounded men down an abandoned railroad track. As we passed the camera, I was on the bottom stroke of this sort of teeter-totter mechanism that made the handcar run. I was just lifting the handle up as the director yelled 'Cut!' and one of the wounded cast members reached up and grabbed the handle. Now, instead of lifting the expected weight, I was suddenly, jarringly, lifting his entire weight off the flatbed - one hundred eighty pounds or so. The muscles along the right side of my back tore. They just snapped and let loose. And that was the start of it all - the pain, the painkillers, the addiction, the lost career."
