Just watched "Nevada Smith", and Brian Keith tells Steve McQueen to "Pick up that brass!". Thought of you, cmvgor.

Happy trails
Knitwit 45;

Thanks loads. In fact, thanks reloads. / An alert friend contacted me personally to point out a scene in Bad Company (1995), in which
Gia Carides picks up all her brass after she empties her small semi-automatic pistol. Not for reloading; she's just trying to avoid having her
weapon identified by investigators. This may not really be necessary because the two dead people in the room -- Lawrence Fishburn and Ellen
Barkin -- killed each other.

Thanks again.
