Tavern Fight from BLOOD ON THE MOON (1948)

Terrific movie, watched it last night on DVD and Mitchum was great as usual.

Just too dark

@wlh1923 That's why I love it! It's a film NOIR Western, that was the aesthetic they used, as I'm sure you know. It makes the whole scene so much more menacing.

Mitchum was quite a brawler anyway, the Deborah Kerr story about him alone proves that: my guess is that Preston was as well. They were just having a good time.

I read that both Preston & Mitchum were battered and bruised after that scene as they didn't use doubles. Evidently they were good friends in real life until Preston's death.

It's Mel! David and I both like this one! : )
