That's a great scene from a great movie.
Did you know that the crew mistakenly put too much dynamite in the train car causing a huge explosion which almost injured several cast members?

Yes. Sometimes reality encroaches on fantasy, and a great scene is created.
Kind of like when Sessue Hayakawa
(Col. Saito)
accidentally hit Alec Guiness
(Col. Nicholson)
in the face way too hard in "Bridge on the River Kwai," and drew blood. Being the professional he was, Guiness continued with the scene with his own blood trickling down to his chin.

Exceptionally so! You're right too, both of them were stunning, and they complimented each other with their differences, while both being mighty easy on the eyes. At first I was more of a Redford fan, then as I got older, I came to really, reeeeally like Newman a lot more.
I actually just saw an episode of What's My Line and Newman was the mystery guest. He was so young, in his 20's or something? That sumptuous voice, it's hard to believe (today) that no one guessed who he was after hearing just a few words. That voice. Those eyes.
I think he even said once that if his eyes ever turned brown that would be the end of his movie career. He seems to have a pretty good reputation as a person as well.

Lilith, I have seen several episodes with Paul Newman on what's My Line. Love that show! try looking for the one where he and his wife, Joanne Woodward try to stump the panel. Very funny and cute.

He was on more than once? I don't think I saw one that had both he and his wife together.
That was one spectacular relationship. At least what we as mere mortals saw on the outside.
The episode I saw, even in B&W those eyes just glowed through the screen. That smile. That voice…

Yes. He was on more than once. If you go to You Tube and type in What's My Line. Paul Newman, you will find all of his appearances.
Enjoy this one….

Oh thank you, Miss Margo! They were such a stunning pair. Imagine being married to Paul Newman where women were throwing themselves at your husband all the time? Someone asked her what it was like being married to Paul Newman and she said something like, "Darling, after two weeks, he's just your husband."
I love WML. It's always so interesting to me to see how things had changed from the 1950's with regards to the clothing, the language, even how people treated each other with such courtesy.

You're welcome.
He was gorgeous, but under it all, you do have to wonder if he was easy to live with. i do know one thing. He loved his wife very much. Look how long they were married. Someone asked him if he'd ever been tempted to cheat on her. Paul's answer was, "Why go out for a hamburger when you have steak at home?" I like that! Good guy!

Exactly! That's something I remember as well. There were never any scandals around either of them, and they were so in love with each other, all the way through. That kind of love is rare, and precious and no doubt what most of us only dream of ever obtaining. What a beautiful couple.

I had a look at youtube and he's Michael Blodgett. Looks like a great movie!
There Was a Crooked Man - Prison Riot: Prisoner Coy Cavendish (Michael Blodgett) is set to be hanged, but Floyd Moon (Warren Oates) and the other prisoners start a riot and tear down the gallows.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
After a botched heist, Wild West bandit Paris Pitman Jr. (Kirk Douglas) hides his newly stolen money where no one will find it, then loses his entire gang in a blaze of bullets before being captured by the law and given a lengthy sentence in a desert jail. Paris believes that he can buy his way out of his predicament by offering some cash to the guards, but the upstanding Sheriff Lopeman (Henry Fonda) makes sure his men remain honest. Running out of options, Paris begins plotting a jailbreak.
