This came to be known as the Patterson-Gimlin film.

The Patterson-Gimlin film ( also referred to as simply the Patterson film ) is a famous short motion picture of an unidentified subject the film makers purported to be a " Bigfoot ", that was supposedly filmed on October 20, 1967, by Roger Patterson ( February 14, 1926 – January 15, 1972 ) and Robert Gimlin ( October 18, 1931 ) on the Klamath River outside of Orleans, California.

The figure depicted in the Patterson-Gimlin film generally matches the descriptions of Bigfoot offered by others who claim to have seen the creatures.

The Patterson-Gimlin film has seen relatively little interest from mainstream scientists.

In addition, David Daegling stated that Wallace " had a degree of involvement " with the Patterson-Gimlin film, and that this gave grounds for suspicion of it.

Coleman has asserted that Wallace had nothing to do with Patterson's footage in 1967, and has argued in an analysis of the media treatment of the death of Wallace that the international media inappropriately confused the Wallace films of the 1970s with the Patterson-Gimlin 1967 film.
