Photo Opportunity #58, 59 and 60


Photo Opportunity #58, 59 and 60
I figured I owe at least 3 months’ worth of Photo Opportunities. Unfortunately, my health has been an issue over the last few months and I’ve simply had to hold off here for a while. 
However, I like to try and keep things updated, and fortunately I already had some great photos put aside for these posts, so thought I’d make up for a bit of lost time. 

Photo Opportunity #58 Rare behind the scenes shot from Magnum Force
Here’s a great shot I’d been wanting to post for some time. This photo was taken during the ‘way to San Quentin’ sequence from Magnum Force. In the picture Clint is seen studying the script with (possibly) the script supervisor Hope McLachlin (1925-1975), director Ted Post (1918-2013) wearing cap and co-star Felton Perry as Insp. Early Smith. Clint is seen here in the dark blue jacket and the group are standing next to Harry’s car, the 1972 Ford Galaxie 500.

Photo Opportunity #59 Kelly’s Heroes cast shot
Here’s a cracking shot of the Kelly’s Heroes cast taken during a break on location. Primarily, the movie was filmed in Yugoslavia, with a significant portion of the action sequences and exteriors captured in the Croatian village of Vižinada on the Istrian peninsula. So we’re probably somewhere in the right vicinity. 

Photo Opportunity #60 Where Eagles Dare, I’m ready for my close-up
Here’s another great shot of Clint from the classic Where Eagles Dare (the film that just keeps on giving). Obviously taken on location, somewhere in the snow-covered regions of the Austrian Alps. The main locations included Hohenwerfen Castle and the surrounding area.
