Article about the movie industry in a different country, where they take firearms safety seriously

Key item:

There are several factors at work but the main one, many entertainment insiders say, is that due to compulsory military service in Israel, Israeli directors, crews and actors are simply more familiar with firearms and have more respect for what they can do.

“ There have been injuries on movie sets of various kinds in Israel, but no one in the industry here could remember a cast or crew member being shot with a prop gun.”

OK, but in fairness, I’m guessing a lot more movies get made in the US than in Israel.

From "Murder at the Vanities":  the number/scene called "The Rhapsody, the Rape, and the Revenge," in which star Carl Brisson, as Liszt, is pictured composing his rhapsody, then the rhapsody is played, until it is "raped" by being played in jazz form by Duke Ellington and his orchestra---at which point the conductor comes in with a prop machinegun and exacts his "revenge" by mowing everyone down.  The only person killed, however, is the vocalist.

About 9 minutes; well worth it, and it seems quite contemporary...
