Jay C. Flippen
(March 6, 1899 – February 3, 1971)
Jay C. Flippen’s birthday seems like a good excuse to post this incredible behind-the-scenes photo from Anthony Mann’s The Far Country (1954). Left to right: Walter Brennan, John McIntire, Flippen and James Stewart.

What a fun photo!
Whenever we’re making a grocery list and coffee is a required item, the hubby goes into his Walter Brennan from this flick.
Hubby also needs to go into 1956′s GOODBYE MY LADY, a sad boy & dog story in which Brennan has coffee scenes a-plenty!
I wish I could have been there for this photoshoot. It’s a wonderful image.
