I went to lots of estate sale auctions in the middle of nowhere and there was no GPS in the 80s So I had a giant Michigan county by county map book. It was about 18 inches by 18 inches and I would plot my course before I left home and I never got lost once. These idiots who deliver groceries from Walmart constantly have trouble finding my house and they have GPS. When I was young we used to say people like that couldn't find their ass with both hands and a flashlight and boy is that true now.

I was talking about old school maps at work. Girl says "yeah, mapquest was primitive." I say, "no, MAPS! Paper!"
She is smart but too young to remember having to find it on a map. I was taught to read maps starting at like age 6-7 because it was an important skill.

Lee Marvin reportedly told Angie Dickenson, to go at him and don't hold back. She either did, or this is really good fake acting.

Camera trick, and a good one! She did that very slowly, and they sped up the film. Clues: mostly his reaction, not flinching or recoiling from the blows. You can tell the sound is dubbed in afterward, doesn't quite match the action. And they don't let you see anything fall because if something is falling faster than gravity would accelerate that you would definitely know something is "not right." So they don't let you see the purse fall, and when she drops to her knees at the end they are back in real-time filming, so watch how her action subtly changes.
Also she would have a good chance of hurting her hands (or poking his eye) doing that for real so I doubt the producer or the Guild would let her. Quite a disappointment if they had to stop filming because Angie's hand is in a cast, or Lee is wearing an eye patch.
