Magnum Force behind the scenes

Magnum Force behind the scenes

A big thank you to my friend Davy Triumph for sending over these great behind the scenes and rare images from Magnum Force. A few of these may already be here on the Archive, but some are certainly new. I was particularly pleased to see this first shot, a rare picture featuring a young Michael Cimino on location. 

Cimino of course worked on the screenplay for Magnum Force, but it would be the following year (1974) that he would make his directorial debut with Thunderbolt & Lightfoot. Perhaps Clint had asked Cimino down to the set of Magnum Force for a discussion and to get a feel for a working production, who knows?
