I've been watching old movies again. The Hideous Sun Demon confirmed my belief that the sun is our enemy. But what a great surprise I had while watching Appointment with Danger, in which Alan Ladd played a hard-boiled postal inspector investigating the murder of another postal inspector. In the opening scene, two very familiar-looking thugs lug the dead inspector to an ally. They were the very young Jack Webb & Harry Morgan, who would later portray the iconic pair Sergeant Friday & Officer Bill Gannon in Dragnet! Wow! And what was really cool was what baddies they were is this film:
UPDATE: Ranald has pointed out that bronzed baby shoes are not as heavy as this clip implies. However, I'm willing to allow them poetic license. The bronzed shoes are a load on the poor hood's heart.
