Oopsie! Researching for clues to post, I ran across the fact that a _second_ sequel was made.
So tepid it set on the shelf until the mid-1970s.
*6.* The hero's personal sidearm is a classic "broomhandle" Mauser, a weapon usually seen (on
film) in the hands of sneering Nazis. Noting that he is in a hospital zone and may have to do some shooting, he screws on a silencer.

Addressing JackFavell, MissGulch, casablancalover, MRSMCQUEEN CCerini and others of like sentiment;
I miss bio47 too. He added a lot to these panels; he had a deep store of knowledge on various subjects, and he expressed himself well. Like others, it seems, I have some correspondence
to & from him on file in the Personal Messages section, the last dated Feb. 6 of this year. I'm glad to know that he had other sympathetic friends also.
In sadness,

For consideration, if you think it may be worth your time...
The 2-disk DVD of The Wild Bunch includes a copy of a documentary entitled "Sam Peckinpah's West, Legacy of a Hollywood Renegade". With Kris Kristofferson as the principal
narrator, various critics, actors, and others who worked with Peckinpah tell stories of working with
the director. One, a script writer, relates how he was handed $10,000, and told to write a script. He was given the title "Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia", and nothing else. He developed the
framework of the story that finally got to the screen. As he went along, he began to include facts and impressions of the director himself into the story's hero. Impulsiveness. Stubbornness. Sticking to a quest in spite of warnings and demonstrations of very real danger and downsides.
The director loved it, and the role that eventually went to Warren Oates had many of these features
folded in.

10 clues to movie
in Games and Trivia
Posted
Negative re *Flint*; the film and the hero are British.
*10.* If someone else were posting these clues, my own first guess would be *Operation Kid Brother*, (British title O K Connery). _This_ film would be my second guess. Focus on the earlier clue about the theme song being performed by a member of the Rat Pack.
