  • One of the all time great movies and certainly one of the all time great scenes from Bad Day At Black Rock. It's a scene you can watch again and again. Fact is, you can watch this film again and again - and still discover something fresh and interesting each time . The hero is very quiet; nobody underplayed a part better than Spencer Tracy did in this movie. Great script by Millard Kaufman, Don McGuire and Howard Breslin - and very sure-handed direction from John Sturges, who also did another 191 Movie - The Great Escape. Some directors simply know the best way to stage action. Simply.

    This was a marvelous movie and what an unbeatable cast of actors! Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin were great buddies for several before appearing in this movie together. Marvin was far more experienced than Borgnine and enjoyed playing pranks on his friend. Ernest told in the story in his autobiography of how Lee Marvin almost caused him to break his shoulder when he played a joke while shooting this scene. The door which Ernest took with him in the fight with Spencer Tracey, was checked and re-checked to make sure it would open easily when Ernest hit it. Just before the directer yelled action, Lee Marvin slipped out and used the outside bolt to lock the door securely. Ernest hit the door hard and instead of swinging open it held until his full weight carried the door off it's hinges bolt and all. Ernest was almost knocked unconscious and when you see him staggering around trying to get up, it's not acting! The two guys remained friends until Marvins death in the 1980s.

      @@nigeljones9849 This film was made before "wokeness" was a concept. Tracy plays a vet of the 1943-45 Italian Campaign where he gave his arm and his Nisei comrade in arms of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team gave his life and was awarded a medal for his valor. Oh just a note-the 442nd Regt. Combat Team was the most decorated unit in US Army history comprised of "Jap" Americans. Those certainly aren't "woke" concepts. There was no intimation the other men in the film are to have taken any part in the War although Robert Ryan's character was said to have tried to enlist in the USMC and met with rejection. What is "woke" about any of that? Did the film say that these desert town men were SO patriotic they went to LA to work in the hundreds of then defense plants? Nope. They sat on their butts and killed a Nisei because he was a "Jap" and they resented him. If anything it is a murder mystery.

  • @stevenpoblete2254
    @stevenpoblete2254 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    It's the nuanced things of these great actors we need to pay attention too sometimes! When Tracy pays for his meal, he doesn't just throw the coin on the counter, you hear him place it down, softly, two clicks. When Ryan tries to catch the knife, purely accidental he mishandled it, but straight on with the scene as totally normal, reaches over and gets hold of it and still going with his lines, Marvins facial reactions in the background, all great stuff!

    • @None-zc5vg
      @None-zc5vg 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's possible that Ryan's not catching the knife was intentional, as it would signify that he's now lost his 'edge', and that he's on shaken by the way that things didn't come out
      One solution to Smith's dilemma would have been for him to have dug up Komoko's body overnight and burned it thoroughly in some distant spot. Macready could tell the cops what he knew but there'd only be some disturbed ground and obvious traces of a body (after four years) but nothing else (no DNA tests in 1945).

    • @surfwriter8461
      @surfwriter8461 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tossing an open switch blade is pretty dangerous, and I'm surprised it went like this without more serious injury to Ryan. It would have been safer to let the knife land untouched, but I think the natural reaction is for a guy to try to catch it. It's awkward the way the knife bounces off Ryan's hand and lands on the pinball machine. It could have been more disastrous. But I get the film's concept of Ryan not being able to catch a sharp blade--a sign of his weakening and likely downfall.

      Tremendous stunt-work, that is: note how Borgnine's ferocious swing at Tracy (2.46) comes to a dead stop as Tracy('s stunt-double) chops him and knees him: even judo skills couldn't have arrested the momentum of Borgnine's bulky frame.

      It all looks impressively easy when choreographed for a movie-scene on a studio set. It would be less so in a real-life situation of less-even odds,when your (say) yellow-belt protagonist is up against a group, or against someone holding a gun or a knife.
      In this scene, when Tracy turns his back, you're looking at his stunt-double, one of three used during the picture: in this scene, the 'double' was most likely Carey Loftin who later did the 'truck driver' work in the film "Duel".

    The use of judo by Tracy was actually suggested by Ernie Borgnine. He was talking to John Sturges about how was a one-armed man was was going to throw-down with a strapping two-armed fighter. Borgnine was taught judo in the Navy and he said "What about judo?" So Sturges had him work out the scene with the stunt men and his double. During rehearsals the screen door was left open and Ernie was falling into mattresses, but during the shoot Sturges locked the screen and Ernie plowed into it and fell to the ground---and he was literally dizzy when he got up and threw his last punch.

      Tracy is said to have been a covert [what else?] homosexual and a guilt-ridden alcoholic, but it's what's on the screen that counts.
      Half of the "martial arts" scene used a stunt-double dressed like Tracy in that baggy suit: if you watch closely at 2.31, you see Tracy look down to position his feet on the markers so that his double (someone who knew judo,etc.) could come in and take his place and carry on the fight sequence.

    The very young Robert Wagner had just been signed by the studio, and for his first or second role was assigned to play Tracy's son in a western. Understandably nervous, on the first day on set he kept calling his screen father "Mr. Tracy." Tracy finally told him, "Call me Spence." When Wagner asked him for a tip about his part, Tracy said, "Know your lines and don't bump into the furniture." Today, when I'm in a community theater production and a young actor/actress asks for a tip, I quote what I call "Tracy's Law".
