Unlike the bitter ending of Jimmy Stewart and Anthony Mann's professional partnership, Stewart and Pie's bond remained strong until the very end. As per NPR, during the trio's collaboration on The Far Country, a scene required Pie to walk alone in the street for a long shot that was being dolly-filmed.
As per NPR, Pie belonged to a woman named Stevie Myers, who rented him out to various Hollywood clients. One of her most loyal customers was Jimmy Stewart.
