Gilbert Roland- Actor- Trapeze-ist too??
Gilbert Roland was the Boat Captain in "Mr. Bobby's Bar"- his line- "Let's have the best one of the day, Thomas" set the tone for that aspect of the movie-Claire Bloom was. at that time, married to George C. Scott, and was the "hooker" as cast- thanks for the memory jog.
In the book, Thomas Hudson shoots at the hammerhead shark with a .256- a Mannlicher-Schoenauer BA with the classic butterknife handle- and Eddie nails the shark in the belly with Thompson 1921 SMG--
Never have shot a shark, but would prefer my NM 1903 accurized Springfield with AP loads-sharks have tough hides so I have heard.
Also have enjoyed very much the "Sunrise on the Santee" duck hunting book you sent me in return for the VCR tapes- any hunting or fishing stopry set in either of the Carolinas is "Aces" with me- Havilah Babcock didn't have to take a back seat to any of the "Yankee" writers of his era either- just read his "Two Strangers" which I rank equally with Corey Ford's "The Road To Tinkhamtown"--
