I remember that movie. Robert Mitchum didn't make a bad movie that I remember. He can't sing though.

You're right, good movies but bad singing. I'm not sure, but that is probably the only song he ever did.

That is the movie that Mitchum was sitting at the dinner table and his Mother asked for him to say Grace. He said:

Bless the food
Bless the meat
Gettin' late
Let's eat
Amen

Then his Mother slapped his ass over in his chair.

Cars look around 1957.

Know each scene by heart. Probably my all time favorite - except for that ugly Keely Smith.

One of the cars at the gas station scene was owned by a friend of mine.

Osan AFB, Korea has a charity carnival fund raiser every year, military radio station AFKN was broadcasting from there and they would play a song over and over until some unit collected enough money to change it, in 1975 the Osan Air Police Squadron donated the most money and the song they wanted played was Thunder Road .........no other Squadron could collect enough money to stop the AP Sqdn so they played Thunder Road for 24 hours straight.
Needless to say I got more than a little tired of that song.

I was a civilian working in Korea at that time.
