cmvgor Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Not *North Dallas Forty*. The story is based on fact, from a book by a sports reporter who went underground and fronted as a rookie to tell the story of Big League Football training. Many actual NFL playears appeared as themselves in the film. Both the sportswriter and the actor who portrayed him did a lot of other good work in their respective fields. Released in the late 1960s.

cmvgor Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 *Fort Apache* (1948) ?? Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Fort Apache is correct. And by the way, those were the actual actors doing the riding, not stunt men. Your turn. Link to post Share on other sites
cmvgor Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Thanks, Miles. Again, a set-up duel. One man starts to step off the ten paces. The other does not walk; he turns around and stands still while the first man is still counting and pacing. The moving man whirls around on the count of "eight", but the other is waiting for him and shoots him. The man who cheated first walks over to the dying one, kneels down and mumers in admonishment, "That wasn't ten, Hoss." Link to post Share on other sites
cmvgor Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 "That wasn't ten, Hoss." The duelists were Kris Kristofferson as Billy The Kid, and Jack Elam as Alamosa Bill in 1973's Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid. Alamosa, not a bad guy, was a luckless lawman with an obligation to bring Billy in. Where he found him, Billy was surrounded by friends and supporters, so there was no question of arresting him. Alamosa opted for challenging The Kid to a duel and then trying to trick his way out of it. Didn't work. This is a thread with possiblities . Let's open it up and see if we can get some more participation. Thread's open. Link to post Share on other sites

allaboutlana Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 A man with money he just won by gambling is stopped and robbed at gunpoint. Another man and his friend stops the robbery and very convincingly tells the robber to be on his way. The man who was almost robbed says he has no past and was born when he met him and his friend. Later, the three of them share a toast. Link to post Share on other sites

cagney69 Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 how about Three Comrades? Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 No, not ?Three Comrades?? Here?s another scene from the same movie: A woman is seen strumming a guitar, singing in a slow, moody fashion, which is interrupted by someone entering the room. Later near the end of the movie, she is seen giving a memorable and uninhibited performance of the same song, while intoxicated, tossing her hair all about her.

The Lady Eve Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Sounds like *Gilda* Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 It is Gilda. At the beginning, Glenn Ford was almost robbed, when George Macready and his trusted cane/knife came to his rescue. Later, Glenn and George have a toast to them and George?s friend, his cane. And, of course, Rita Hayworth sings a very memorable ?Put the Blame on Mame? near the beginning and end of the movie. I saw it recently and loved it. Your turn. Link to post Share on other sites
The Lady Eve Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 OK...here's one... In the afternoon, in a caf? next to a movie house, a man sits drinking beer?he sits there, waiting, half asleep from the beer and the darkness? the music from the movie playing next door keeps waking him up?
