Hard Times - the True Story - Part 5


Hard Times - the True Story - Part 5

Hard Times lifted up his gray tweed jockey cap to scratch his head, then dropped the butt and quenched it with a polished Florsheim. Bronson took one more puff, then lit another cigarette.

“Stay awhile - we’re shooting some fight scenes.”

“I got some time…”

He watched that day. He studied llBrutto. They smoked and talked during the frequent breaks…At dusk, Hard Times shook Bronson’s hand, tipped his cap, and walked off the set. He didn’t return…he didn’t go to the movie when it was released. His kids saw the movie - and wondered why he never got a penny for it…or even a mention that it was “based on the true story of Earl A. Vince, aka ‘Hard Times’” …
