No, that's Tom Horn...saw him on TV ;);)

If you're referring to the "Tom Horn" movie which starred Steve McQueen, that was filmed in 1980... unless the date on the pic with Steve on the Land Rover is inaccurate. Quite possible, as I'm not sure that model of Land Rover was available in 1963.

The interesting thing I remember about the movie "Tom Horn" was that, upon Horn's conviction and sentence of death by hanging, the executioner used a different method to trigger the trap to open (instead of pulling a handle). Horn just stood on the closed trap, and that caused a basket of water to fill below the gallows, very slowly. As soon as the water reached a certain weight/level in the basket, that weight would cause the trap to spring open.
