Followed by a lot of laughter. It's the first film for Autry's fledgling Dirt Road Productions. The gunfire and shattering window were scripted. Autry's getting his spurs tangled as he fell through the doorway was not, which is the reason for the laughter. Crew, cast and maybe Autry most of all, get a good chuckle out of his spill.
Some actors nap while waiting.
Others joke around with the jovial banter you find in a locker room. Action sequences, which fill today's shooting schedule, are particularly grueling. It can take a couple of hours to get a 15-second shot lit just right and ready to go. So when you're out in the heat and dust, it's Day 18 of a 23-day shoot and the light at the end of the tunnel is more like a fuzzy, buzzy firefly than a laser beam. Humor is an essential part of keeping a movie set working creatively.
