A lovely man.

This was a marvelous movie and what an unbeatable cast of actors! Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin were great buddies for several before appearing in this movie together. Marvin was far more experienced than Borgnine and enjoyed playing pranks on his friend. Ernest told in the story in his autobiography of how Lee Marvin almost caused him to break his shoulder when he played a joke while shooting this scene. The door which Ernest took with him in the fight with Spencer Tracey, was checked and re-checked to make sure it would open easily when Ernest hit it. Just before the directer yelled action, Lee Marvin slipped out and used the outside bolt to lock the door securely. Ernest hit the door hard and instead of swinging open it held until his full weight carried the door off it's hinges bolt and all. Ernest was almost knocked unconscious and when you see him staggering around trying to get up, it's not acting! The two guys remained friends until Marvins death in the 1980s.

@@nigeljones9849 This film was made before "wokeness" was a concept. Tracy plays a vet of the 1943-45 Italian Campaign where he gave his arm and his Nisei comrade in arms of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team gave his life and was awarded a medal for his valor. Oh just a note-the 442nd Regt. Combat Team was the most decorated unit in US Army history comprised of "Jap" Americans. Those certainly aren't "woke" concepts. There was no intimation the other men in the film are to have taken any part in the War although Robert Ryan's character was said to have tried to enlist in the USMC and met with rejection. What is "woke" about any of that? Did the film say that these desert town men were SO patriotic they went to LA to work in the hundreds of then defense plants? Nope. They sat on their butts and killed a Nisei because he was a "Jap" and they resented him. If anything it is a murder mystery.

It all looks impressively easy when choreographed for a movie-scene on a studio set. It would be less so in a real-life situation of less-even odds,when your (say) yellow-belt protagonist is up against a group, or against someone holding a gun or a knife. In this scene, when Tracy turns his back, you're looking at his stunt-double, one of three used during the picture: in this scene, the 'double' was most likely Carey Loftin who later did the 'truck driver' work in the film "Duel".

Half of the "martial arts" scene used a stunt-double dressed like Tracy in that baggy suit: if you watch closely at 2.31, you see Tracy look down to position his feet on the markers so that his double (someone who knew judo,etc.) could come in and take his place and carry on the fight sequence.

The use of judo by Tracy was actually suggested by Ernie Borgnine. He was talking to John Sturges about how was a one-armed man was was going to throw-down with a strapping two-armed fighter. Borgnine was taught judo in the Navy and he said "What about judo?" So Sturges had him work out the scene with the stunt men and his double. During rehearsals the screen door was left open and Ernie was falling into mattresses, but during the shoot Sturges locked the screen and Ernie plowed into it and fell to the ground---and he was literally dizzy when he got up and threw his last punch.

It's possible that Ryan's not catching the knife was intentional, as it would signify that he's now lost his 'edge', and that he's on shaken by the way that things didn't come out One solution to Smith's dilemma would have been for him to have dug up Komoko's body overnight and burned it thoroughly in some distant spot. Macready could tell the cops what he knew but there'd only be some disturbed ground and obvious traces of a body (after four years) but nothing else (no DNA tests in 1945).

@surfwriter8461

Tossing an open switch blade is pretty dangerous, and I'm surprised it went like this without more serious injury to Ryan. It would have been safer to let the knife land untouched, but I think the natural reaction is for a guy to try to catch it. It's awkward the way the knife bounces off Ryan's hand and lands on the pinball machine. It could have been more disastrous. But I get the film's concept of Ryan not being able to catch a sharp blade--a sign of his weakening and likely downfall.

Absolute classic, and what a cast four great actors in one scene, Laurence Olivier said that Tracy was the greatest screen actor of all time.

Charles Laughton said Robert Mitchum was the greatest talent ever to appear in front of a movie camera.

I’ve never noticed this before, but Spencer Tracy delivered a lot of lines in this movie with his head down. Even so, he is still the one you are looking at.

THE CAST HAD 5 Academy Award Winners, all rolled up in one Fabulous Movie ! Oh yeah add the Director as another AAW! ✌️🌻

Back when Hollywood relied on a good script and good actors.

I can't believe I was probably close to 50 years old before I watched this Classic.They just didn't show it often that I remember.

My dad was a huge Spencer Tracy fan. He like Ernest Borgnine too. I watched this movie with him shortly before he died.

This was a great movie. Spencer Tracy at the top of his game.

"Not only are you wrong, but you're wrong at the top of your voice."

Superb movie. Great acting all round and electrifying direction by John Sturges, cranking the tension and claustrophobia until it demands this explosive release.

I like the long takes, no quick cutting, such a great film

Ernest Borgnine and Robert Ryan co-starred with William Holden, Ben Johnson, and Warren Oates in Sam Peckinpah’s western epic The Wild Bunch (1969).

I'm trying to think of a fight on screen that would have gone completely opposite in real life. Off the top of my head, I can't think of one. That's what Hollywood is all about.

I think many people of my age group will always think of a one-armed guy in black when we hear the name, Spencer Tracy. Such a memorable performance.

Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Spencer Tracy and Borgnine in the same movie. Damn.

@James Henderson It is a classic with a great reputation, a tremendous cast and a great story. The producers and directors did an excellent job integrating all the cast into this gem from the 50's. In 2018, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." (Wiki) How would you know what is too old for his character? Pseudo expert. Not only did it feature Robert Ryan and Spencer Tracer but it included Anne Francis, Walter Brennan, Lee Marvin and Borgnine. That's 6 top actors of that era in the same movie. Let us know when you make a movie that is selected for preservation in the US Nation Film Registry.

@Tom Vera Ryan's Marine service was as a P.T. instructor, and he came from a well-off family: he never really "roughed it" in life. What defeated him was the heavy smoking that caused his fatal lung-cancer.

They have always made great stuff in all eras. It's just always been 90s trash. That said, if this movie was made today, people would accuse it of being too "woke".

I remember this scene vividly from when I first saw it as a kid. But it wasn't until many years later that made the connection with the actors. Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine who were at the time of filming just all purpose thugs, both won the Academy Award for Best Actor (Cat Ballou and Marty). Tracy won the best Actor Award twice himself. So there was a lot of acting talent in that little diner that day.

I keep watching it and I tell you now this is superb acting of the highest quality - Borgnine deserves a nomination just for the way he falls through that door. A once in a lifetime movie with all that talent on show.

Such a satisfying scene! One of my all time favorites.

Thanks for posting this. My Dad introduced me to this movie many years ago. When Tracy read the scene he refused to believe that it was possible to beat up a guy with one hand. The martial arts guy (and stand in for the leg throw) did a couple of moves on Tracy (who was no mean fighter himself and always getting into brawls) which convinced him!

People today think of Ernie Borgnine as Quinton McHale and are unaware of the work he did in his early acting career. He was a magnificent actor who had a long career. Rest In Peace Ernie.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Bad Day at Black Rock is a classic, it was shot in Lone Pine California, there is a small movie museum with memorabilia of this film and many others shot in the area. In an area called The Alabama Hills just west of Lone Pine there is a loop road called Movie Road, it's the route of the car chase, I made a point of driving it when I visited there. Lone Pine is a great stop over on a US road trip with lots of things to do and see in the area, the R395 is a very scenic drive.

Much of the picture had to be shot on studio sound-stages, for technical and budgetary reasons. The 'desert' seen outside the café in the fight scene is just scenery.

Every line of dialogue clear as a bell, unlike the mumbling you get in films today.The only way to follow dialogue these days is to turn on the subtitles.

Couldn't agree more. I recently watched the film 'Fury' and could have done with subtitles with all the mumbling actors in it.

"Suppose you tell me where to sit?" Brilliant.

The very young Robert Wagner had just been signed by the studio, and for his first or second role was assigned to play Tracy's son in a western. Understandably nervous, on the first day on set he kept calling his screen father "Mr. Tracy." Tracy finally told him, "Call me Spence." When Wagner asked him for a tip about his part, Tracy said, "Know your lines and don't bump into the furniture." Today, when I'm in a community theater production and a young actor/actress asks for a tip, I quote what I call "Tracy's Law". The sad part for me is when someone asks, "Who is Tracy?"

Borgnine was a WWII Navy vet; Tracy a WWI Navy vet; while Ryan and Marvin served as WWII Marines.
