[Update 2: Yes, I got tricky. There were two Jack Lamberts in the Jack Lambert envelope! [BAD MAN … 1800 style … is popular character actor Jack Lambert, here seen as the villainous Valentine, right-hand man to bandit Wallace Beery in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "Big Jack." Beneath the scar and coonskin cap, Lambert's really a solid citizen who would sooner kid than kill. In addition to Beery, the cast includes Richard Conte, Marjorie Main, Vanessa Brown and Edward Arnold. Richard Thorpe directed, Gottfried Reinhardt, producing. [Jack Lambert — Popular character actor. Latest release "Big Jack" opposite the late Wallace Beery. Just finished featured lead in "Stars in My Crown" opposite Joel McCrea for M-G-M. Lambert has played in 35 pictures in 4 years. [The photo is stamped July 26, 1949. ] [Update: This is everybody’s favorite villain! Please congratulate Julie Merholz, Bob Levinson, Michael Ryerson, Jenny M, Fibber McGee, Lee Ann Thom and Megan, [Update: Mike Hawks], Carmen, Mary Mallory and Don Danard (via email) for identifying him!] Here’s a tough-looking mystery fellow! There’s a new photo on the jump!

[Update: Jack Lambert plays hired gunman in "Chicago Confidential," to screen Wednesday at Orpheum, Hawaii, El Rey and various other theaters and drive-ins, in a photo published Oct. 13, 1957. ] Here’s our mystery guest with a mystery revolver – Colt or Smith & Wesson? [Update: Mary Mallory examined the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ version of this photo and says that in fact the gun is loaded. Evidently The Times’ art department touched up the bullets.] Hey! The art department even painted bullets in the cylinder! It wasn’t loaded.
[Julie Merholz calls this a Smith & Wesson and I tend to agree, based on the bump on the bottom of the barrel that looks like a catch for the ejector rod, which Colts don't have. ]
[Update 2: DRAMATIC MOMENT — Tina Louise and Jack Lambert are caught by camera in a suspenseful scene from "Day of the Outlaw," new Sidney Harmon production for United Artists release, in a photo published Jan. 4, 1959. ] [Update: Please Congratulate Julie Merholz, Benito and Don Danard (via email) for identifying our mystery folks! ] Here’s our mystery fellow being mean to a mystery companion!
[Update 2: Jack Lambert as the padre in the Ealing Studio production of "The Captive Heart," a Prestige Picture released through Universal-International, in a photo stamped Jan. 7, 1948.] [Update: Please congratulate Julie Merholz, Brent Walker, Periwinkle, Mary Mallory and Don Danard (via email) for identifying the other Jack Lambert!] And for Thursday, we have… HEY! Wait a minute! What is this guy doing in the file?! |

Larry, I may not know Jack Lambert, but I certainly know sidearms. The “bump on the bottom” is technicaly referred to as an “ejector rod guard” or “ejector shroud.”
Although I haven’t seen the picture’s revolver, it the one picture that doesn’t have the ejector shroud, is a look-a-like to a Colt .38 Police Positive Special, that was used by Jimmy Cagney, in “The Public Enemy” (1931) and in “Angels With Dirty Faces” (1938).
Sure looks like an S&W Model 10.
With my luck, it was probably made form a bar of soap!
