[Update: This is the filming of “The Domino Principle” in the mess hall at San Quentin in a photo stamped May 7, 1976. On the jump, Roderick Mann’s first-rate profile of “Domino” star Gene Hackman, in which he talks about taking some roles for the money and being disappointed that “The Conversation” failed. I suppose that in 1978 “The Conversation” did seem like a failure, but it’s a terrific movie.] I apologize for the obvious seam in this oversized print but I wanted to run the full photo rather than only what my scanner can accommodate in one pass. [Updated 7:07 a.m. A previous version of this post said the photo was stamped 1978. The stamp says 1976] |

Here’s the mystery camera…. … mystery lighting on location… … a mystery mural … … a mystery crowd… [Update: Stanley Kramer, left, Mickey Rooney and Gene Hackman.] and (entirely not) mystery talent! |

The gentleman at the left is Stanley Kramer. Behind him is Mickey Rooney, and at the right is Gene Hackman. That must mean the film is DOMINO PRINCIPLE.

The amazing Stanley Kramer and Gene Hackman are clearly present identify the film as ‘The Domino Principle’. It was one of Kramer’s last movies as producer/director. During his long career, Kramer was responsible for such classics as ‘Inherit the Wind’, ‘The Wild One’, ‘High Noon’, and ‘Judgement at Nuremberg’. He also made the overblown, ‘It’s a Mad (multiple Mad’s) World’.
