Reminds me of that scene in Giant in the wine cellar when a drunken Jett Rink Falls into one of the racks, and they all go tumbling like dominoes.

I remember watching that movie one late night in the early 70's when I was a teen. It was like the last movie of the night before the test pattern came on. I was real sleepy, but because it had Elizabeth Taylor when she was younger in it, I forced myself to stay up.

Besides Taylor, it had a few other big names in it like Rock Hudson and James Dean, and if I'm not mistaking it even had a very very young Dennis Hopper in it. One of his first rolls if I am not mistaking. Also, I learned years later that it was actually James Dean, the original bad boys last movie, before he died in the car wreck.

Oh, and yes I do remember the scene where Rock Hudson's character knocks over a wine shelf that slowly makes all of the rest fall like dominoes. However, I really cannot remember why he did it, or much other than bits and pieces of the whole movie. I kept dozing off because there was so much talking as many older movies had. Now that I am older I appreciate the old classics more because they could act and did not need a lot of props to distract you from the bad acting of today's actors.

Talk about a blast from the past, now I want to find it and watch it again. Thanks for the memory.

Perhaps you also remember the cookout scene where Rock Hudson brings his high-toned, white-bread, Easterner bride (Elizabeth Taylor) and she faints when they get to the cow brains served in-place, as it were.

I saw it when it first came out in the theaters. I guess it made me who I am today.

Years later, I stayed at the (then-named) Shamrock Hilton, the hotel used in the movie. It was across the street from Rice Univeristy. Then, they tore it down. (I refuse responsibility for that, BTW.)
