[Update: This is the filming of “The Domino Principle” in the mess hall at San Quentin in a photo stamped May 7, 1976. On the jump, Roderick Mann’s first-rate profile of “Domino” star Gene Hackman, in which he talks about taking some roles for the money and being disappointed that “The Conversation” failed. I suppose that in 1978 “The Conversation” did seem like a failure, but it’s a terrific movie.] |
| Here’s the mystery camera…. … mystery lighting on location… … a mystery mural … … a mystery crowd… [Update: Stanley Kramer, left, Mickey Rooney and Gene Hackman.] and (entirely not) mystery talent! |

The gentleman at the left is Stanley Kramer. Behind him is Mickey Rooney, and at the right is Gene Hackman. That must mean the film is DOMINO PRINCIPLE.

And that's director Stanley Kramer wearing the name tag with white hair. Now I have to discover what and where that mural is!

Mystery talent? Gene Hackman, Mickey Rooney and Stanley Kramer.
The Movie? "The Domino Principle" (1977)
The mural? How about San Quentin Prison and the art work is by Alfredo Santos (1953)

Gene Hackman and Mickey Rooney in a prison movie? Probably The Domino Principle [1977]. Nice mural, too.

The Domino Principle. Directed by Stanley Kramer. That looks like Gene Hackman and Mickey Rooney in the close-ups.

Hmmm, Hackman, Rooney and I think Stanley Kramer. I guess the Domino Principle. Thanks, IMDB.

That's Gene Hackman.

The amazing Stanley Kramer and Gene Hackman are clearly present identify the film as 'The Domino Principle'. It was one of Kramer's last movies as producer/director. During his long career, Kramer was responsible for such classics as 'Inherit the Wind', 'The Wild One', 'High Noon', and 'Judgement at Nuremberg'. He also made the overblown, 'It's a Mad (multiple Mad's) World'.

The Domino Principle. Also, that's Mickey Rooney walking with the sunglasses.

In the 1st and 6th photo, the man in the jacket with the white rectangular patch on it looks like director Stanley Kramer.
