This one is thanks to my friend Mark Loeser, creator of the pinball supercut video that is projected in a loop at the North Star pinball bar in Montreal, Canada. Even though this blog is more about me stumbling upon pinball appearances in movies, sometimes I can’t resist dipping into sources like this.
Anyway, it’s just after World War II ended, and good ol’ Spencer tracy arrives in a one-horse town, looking for some answers. Everyone in town makes it clear that he is most unwelcome.
At one point Ernest Borgnine disrupts his meal, pushing for a fight. In the background, Robert Ryan plays a Follies of 1940 (Genco, 1939). The whole scene lasts several minutes, and the machine is visible a lot of the time...
So nice to see an old machine like this in color...
Robert Ryan was previously featured playing pinball in my post about the 1949 movie Caught.
