Maxim Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Just watched this film this afternoon, (learning how to be retired). About 48 minutes in, there is the most realistic assassination attempt with a Thompson I have ever seen on film. A type "L" drum loaded with tracers at night. Wow! Has anyone seen anything better than this? Hell and High Water (in color) has some Thompson tracer file as well, but nothing like in this movie.

Petroleum 1 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Nice scene i looked it up on YouTube. The poor fella sure had a tough time trying to swap out the L drum. Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dudley Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I was amazed that I hadn't seen that movie before. The Thompson scenes were pretty good, but I had forgotten how beautiful Gene Tierney was. Thanks for the TSMG movie heads up! U D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hammer Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Dudley, Gene was gorgeous in this film at 21 yrs old. Here's a photo from the film she signed for me along with the cover of Life magazine which was the most popular magazine of the period.

Bob Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Back in the day mom was a model for a local department store. They made the scenes like popular pinup pictures. LOLGene Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hammer Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Bob, looks like your mom was giving the stars a run for their money. This must have been a popular pose setting at the time, it jogged my memory and I found another one in my collection. This one is from the beautiful Debra Paget...Hubba Hubba.
