I'm watching this flick on TCM out of the corner of my eye, while plowing thru opy threads looking for no-no's but you'all are being really good, so me and the mods got it easy...Steve McQueen was such a cool guy and a good actor. I forget his story, but he was in reform school or some sort of hard knock deal, and when I was a kid, he was the kind of guy I wanted to be when I grew up, tough but cool too. I remember when he was dying of cancer, and was running down to Mexico and trying all those apricots cancer remedy (laetril?)and shit.
In this movie he's a gambler, and oh shit, it started in New Orleans, and that was a beautiful old city, and I've shot up dope and drank many a beer there. Once the boat was a the doc in Venice, LA and we were in for 24 hrs to resplice some anchor cables, and the tenders had to work, but I was a diver, and me and this other cat thumbed into New Orleans to get some dilaudids, and thumbed back to boat, me and a guy I'd been in prison with in California...later he ratted me out on a beef in Louisiana. Such is junky life... Johnny Freeman...u read this u know who u r, know what u did...ah good old days...
