Watching Casablanca last night, one thing I really noticed: the HEAVY tobacco smoking. This was how it was in that time period, and why so many of them died from cancer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 4 hours ago, Dirty Dan Dawkins said: I have not. If you are into classic WWII flying stories, especially about 8th AF, you must watch this one! Another, absolute MUST, is "Strategic Air Command" with Jimmy Stewart. Beautiful photography! (B-36 and B-47) And June Allyson ain't bad either. If you are into Strategic Air Command stuff, "A Gathering of Eagles", starring Rock Hudson (yeah, is about a B-52 outfit that flunks its Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI) and has a new commander take over and kick butts! This thing is almost straight out of SAC Manual 35-99! I wasn't in bombers, but I do know about ORI's! Those things used to cause more deaths among wing CO's than enemy action! (Col. John Carrol, CO, 341 Strategic Missile Wing, Malmstrom AFB, MT,, 1966. RIP after his third heart attack! ) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point of of his not carrying is that the world of the Wild West/gunfighters is passing and Ringo is an anachronism. His way is dying, foreshadowing his own end.

I don’t buy it, the age of the gunfighter ending never stopped sheriffs, Marshals, Rangers and police from not carrying a gun. Pure Hollywood nonsense! How about the smart aleck that came after Ringo or the three guys after him. The Sheriff gives his deputy a shotgun to go protect Ringo but he didn’t carry! Crazy!

Alpo Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) Why is everyone saying that he was unarmed? Uncle Charlie might not have been wearing a belt gun, but who's to say there's not a shoulder holster under that frock coat? Jimmy wore one.
