THE MORE I LOKK AT THE PICTURE I THINK THE PHOTO IS FROM COLUMN SOUTH, BUT COULD BE WRONG. BOTH HAD HIM IN UNIFORM. WHAT DO YOU THINK? WOULD HAVE TO SEE MORE WITH THAT POSE.

Column South, or Guns of Ft. Petticoat?

I FORGOT ABOUT GUNS OF FT PETTICOAT. I BET THATS IT CAUSE I'VE SEEN THAT POSE BEFORE. I BET ITS FROM THAT ONE. THANKS, ANN.

Hi Folks, I have seen that pose before of Audie, but not sure which film. But I do have a question.
The artisit' rendition of the Indian in the background, THAT ONE IS FROM APACHE RIFLES THOUGH
ISN'T IT???? Thanks for answering. Shirley Jean.

THE INDIAN IN THE BACKGROUND DOES LOOK LIKE MICHAEL DANTE FROM APACHE RIFLES. IF WE COULD LOOK UP THE LOBBY CARDS FOR GUNS OF FT PETTICOAT OR SOME OFFICIAL PHOTOS I BET WE FIND THIS POSE.

David, I'll bet our friend from Sweden, Gerry Gerassi has those lobby cards. He's probably got the best collection of Audie memorabilia in the world.

I SAW A SET OF THE LOBBY CARDS ON EBAY AND IT WASN'T PART OF THAT. LARRY WINTERS WOULD BE THE ONE TO TELL OR WAYNE CUTSHAW. I THINK BOTH OF THEM HAVE EVRY LOBBY CARD TO EVERY MOVIE HE DID. MAYBE ITS A PUBLICITY STILL OR SOMETHING.

I have looked at my lobby cards, plus photos I have on Apache Rifles. In every photo, Audie is wearing a yellow bandanna. The lobbys and photos of Column South & Guns of Fort Petticoat he is not wearing the yellow bandanna. I believe the photo is from Column South. The belt buckle and pouch shows in photos from Column South. I do not have a photo showing the exact image shown above.

ALSO, IN EVERY PHOTO I HAVE SEEN OF APACHE RIFLES, AUDIE IS WEARING SUSPENDERS, OR WHATEVER THE MILITARY CALLS THEM. HE DOESN'T ON THE DVD COVER FOR APACHE RIFLES. SO MAYBE I WAS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AFTER ALL ON COLUMN SOUTH. THIS COULD BE A TRIVIA QUESTION NEXT YEAR ON MOVIE NIGHT, LARRY.

The problem with Column South is the jacket. The uniform in the picture looks more like the one her wore in Guns..

As I mentioned in another thread, Most of the posters for Guns.. were artist drawn, and did not accurately reflect the costume he actually wore in the film. The few stills that I saw in Sue's book, Now Showing, were not close-ups.

I still feel like the Apache Rifles cover is from Guns..

I was 14 when I first saw the movie in the theater. It was one of the first I acquired later on. I liked looking at Murphy in that film I looked at him a lot.

Ann.

I DO AGREE CAUSE HE WAS JUST SO DURN YOUNG LOOKING IN COLUMN SOUTH AND HAD THE LOOK OF TIRED AGE TO ME IN APACHE RIFLES. HE WAS THE PERFECT LOOK IN GUNS, AS FAR AS NOT TOO YOUNG AND NOT TOO OLD, BUT COMFORTABLE WITH HIMSELF. THATS WHAT COMES ACROSS WHEN I WATCH GUNS. I WOULD HAVE TO WATCH IT AGAIN TO TRY AND FIND THAT SHOT IN THE MOVIE. MAY JUST DO THAT TOO. IF SOMEONE BEATS ME TO IT AND GETS A TIME IN THE MOVIE THAT THE SHOT IS, LET US KNOW.

I WENT THRU THE MOVIE AND IT IS DEFINATELY GUNS OF FORT PETTICOAT, BUT COULDNT FIND THAT EXACT POSE. COULD HAVE BEEN NEAR THE END WHEN HE WAS GOING AFTER THE MEDICINE MAN. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE CLOSEST I COULD FIND. MAYBE SOMEBODY ELSE COULD PIN POINT IT BETTER. LIKE ALL THIS REALLY MATTERS ANYWAY.

I agree that it was probably during the chase. It could be from footage that was cut from the final version.
