Happy birthday, Charles Bronson and John Barry!

Bronson can be spotted in the 1970 Japanese movie Stray Cat Rock: Wild Jumbo. On their way to heist 30 million yen from an armored car, young punks in a jeep pass a billboard with Charles Bronson on it.

The old wild west of the frontier and the new wild west of the concrete jungle are the domains of "real men", thus "Mandom". That's my interpretation, anyway. I like how it's almost "random".

Was this an ad for a clothing line or something? It's interesting how this juxtaposition of images forecasts Death Wish, still a few years away.
