I was watching the 1957 movie "Jailhouse Rock" staring Elvis Presley tonight on TMC and saw somthing that I had not noticed before.
About halfway through the movie, Elvis' character goes to Hollywood to make movies. The movie company wants him to be out on the town with his new co-star. The first place they go is Knotts Berry Farms. There is a small part where in the back ground is the train leaving the station. Not much of a shot. It looks like a studio shot with backgroud projected behind. Above their heads you see the locomotive only. I tried to see which engine it was but it didnt last long enough.It has its crazy wild west paint job and appers to be a coal burner still by the back smoke.
Has anyone else noticed this before?
I wonder how many other movies shots are out there which have a quick blip of the narrow gauge.
