  • Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) was one of the earliest Hollywood motion pictures to feature Asian martial arts. The movie had three Oscar winners at the time ( Dean Jagger with one, Spencer Tracy with two, and Walter Brennan with three ) Two other actors ( Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin ) would go on to win Oscars later. Ernest Borgnine actually won one for Marty that same year.

      Great line, Sturges is my favourite director in 40 years of watching film. I wouldn't advise using that line in real life though. Used it on a bully at my workplace, he was embarrassed ,went and told the boss. 2 weeks later I was gone! I found out the hard way life isn't a movie.

    The supreme irony of this movie is that while filming it, Borgnine was offered the role of "Marty". Not confident about taking a lead role he asked Tracy for advice. Tracy assured him he was ready and that he should do it. At the next Oscars telecast, Tracy found hmeself opposite the dark horse candidate Borgnine for that very movie in the catagory of "Lead Actor in a Motion Picture" and Borgnine took the trophey home.

      The film company was granted permission only if they would dismantle and cart off everything so that the area would remain pristine The company agreed and followed through with the agreement. The train never ever stopped there, save for the film scenes.

    Spencer Tracey, Ernest Borgnine, and Lee Marvin were all military veterans. All badasses and true tough guys. Lee Marvin was the most badass of them all! Todays actors play tough guys but never were. Way back when in movies, tough guys were played by real tough guys. Anyone remember Audie Murphy?
