Mac, Bud and Pal: 1943
March 1943. Pearlington, Mississippi (vicinity). "Truck drivers at a highway coffee stop on U.S. Highway 90." Making time for a cuppa joe. Medium format negative by John Vachon for the Office of War Information. View full size.
Hubba-hubba!
The guy on the left also caught my eye. To me, he's a blonde Aidan Turner (the UK version, not the US one). ::swoon::
C'mon you guys!
That's CLEARLY a young Robert Ryan on the left!
The Guy On The Left...
The guy on the left looks to me like a Ryan Gosling in profile.
And I noticed..
..the middle guy wearing a tie, and hats for all three. Well, this was the '40s, after all. I agree with jodaddyk...Robert Mitchum!
That guy on the left.....
....actually looks alot like a young Robert Ryan.
BTW....There's a crab on the wall!
That Catsup Bottle
...has fought me to a draw. Nothing like it on Google images, but blowing up the label I see a "G" just off the top center. That suggested an 'X&G' brand name, and by substituting for X starting with 'A', I eventually found a "P&G Catsup" that was distributed in that area at that time. There's a good chance that's what it is, but no confirming pictures on the Internet that I can find.
Resemblance
The guy on the left could have been a stand in for film star Robert Mitchum.
[I was thinking a Tyrone Power/Victor Mature cross. -tterrace]
I know this movie!
The TV Guide blurb goes something like this:
"An unsuspecting truck driver gets more than he bargained for when he picks up an escaped convict at a roadside diner"
Red Top Safety Match
Made in U.S.A. by the Diamond Match Co.
