To look at Spencer Tracy now, you wouldn’t have thought that he could have been convincing as a badass, particularly once he had passed middle age. But anyone who’s seen John Sturges’ Bad Day at Black Rock- the source of last week’s quiz- might beg to differ. After arriving mysteriously on sunny day on the Streamliner, Tracy proceeds to clean up the most rotten town in the West, doling out one-armed ass-beatings to anyone who stands in his way. It’s a hell of a movie, with perhaps Tracy’s last performance before he began playing senior citizens full-time, and a supporting cast that includes such manly-man staples as Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine, Walter Brennan, Lee Marvin, and, uh, Anne Francis. Congrats to those who guessed correctly.
This week’s quiz contains the most lines of any quiz to date. See you can place this cryptic final exchange:
“It’s ours again.”
“What is?”
“Eternity.”
“It’s just the sea.”
“And the sun.”
