ID: 3 stills from A Bullet for Baldwin (1956)

  1. Alfred Hitchcock says “I’ve just come into possession of a cure for fascism”

  2. He sets some bullets on his desk and says “they come in capsule form. For best results, they must be taken internally.”

  3. He holds up a revolver and says “here is the handy applicator.”

    You’re jumping the gun (no pun intended) a bit too far here.

    You have to wait until fascism is literally tearing apart the whole world before you attempt that remedy. In the meantime, we just watch the world slowly burn.

    Thanks America.

      “it could never happen here”
