Happy birthday, Lars!

Okay, it's hard to see, but that's a black cat crossing the path of the Plummer brothers in John Ford's Stagecoach (1939). This comes right after Luke Plummer (Tom Tyler, center) gets the "dead man's hand" (aces and eights) in a poker game. He shoots at the cat and misses.

The Plummers are on their way to a gundown with the film's hero, played by John Wayne. How do you like their chances?
