Yes, The Duke was a genuine tough guy, however anyone who's read the goings on on the set of From Here to Eternity would know that the outcome may have been different if Burt Lancaster had answered the door. The Duke would have been faced with one of two options: a very long brawl or just walk away. To be fair Burt resented getting Frankie out of scrapes and they never did make another film.

two part question:

Which very under-rated film did The Duke make with one of Frankie's co-stars in FHTE and who was that actor. Wayne called him one of the best actors he's ever worked with.

How did Burt Lancaster earn a living before he became an actor.

Frankie look like a runt between two mastodons in this scene.

I think Burt Lancaster was in the circus, high wire or trapese artistperhaps?

what band performed this jingle:

Wake up in the morning there's a snap around the place
Wake up in the morning there's a crackle in your face
Wake up in the morning there's a pop that realy says
"Rice Crispies for you and you and you"

Pour on the milk and listen to the snap that says: "It's nice"
Pour on the milk and listen to the crackle of that rice
Get up in the morning to the pop that says: "It's rice"

Hear them talking crisp. Rice Crispies!!

the tv commercial featuring the jingle aired in 1963
