Reminiscent of the mostly-fanciful movie, “The Iron Mistress”, with Alan Ladd. In it, Bowie saw a meteorite land and found it. He then had a knife made out of it, so it became the famous Bowie Knife.
Early 1950s. As a kid, I loved the movie. Saw it again as a grown-up and it was schmaltzy.

Strange how that works isn't it? I remember that movie well, but even Shane was schmaltzy in my later years. Not many of the old Classics stand up well to modern movies, if only they could stop the fBombs and raunchy sex scenes.
