CMPs in the movies

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

I have a list of movies I have spotted CMPs in but my biggest problem has been grabbing a still picture out of the movie.

Can you name this movie stared James Cagney, shot in the US and Canada in 1947?
13 Rue Madeleine.JPG

It is listed on IMCDb incorrectly as a C15A anybody a member of that forum might want to correct it and tell them what CMP stands for. http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_328438-...-C15A-CMP.html

Don't worry about being held in suspense about the name of the movie I'll disclose it later if nobody hits it. No fair going to the movie link before guessing.

Only movie my HUP was in the entire 3 days of shooting ended up on the cutting room floor. Never been paid so much to be so bored.

Cheers Phil

I can't recall this movie Phil, but I've definitely heard the movie title "13 Rue Madeleine", so I'm guessing this is it, since that's the jpeg image title! Next time you might want to change the filename Phil. D'OH!!

BTW I'm still waiting for an answer to the trivia question above: "From the doco series When Weather Changed History, I'll let you guess which episode..."

Hi Tony

Yup should have saved the picture under one of 5 other names this film was released as.

The HUP shows up a couple of times during the movie, strange how the movie people like to pick CMPs to represent Exotic Enemy vehicles. Or was it that CMPs were just so good that the orders were to capture them if the chance arose instead of just destroying.

But then again most movie types can't tell the difference between vehicles even when they are offered the correct vehicles.

Street scenes of the 13 rue de la Madeleine film were actually done in the lower OLD Quebec city which features very old style european construction, narrow streets. etc.

The reason I know....one of the extras "resistance fighter" was the Math teacher ("Mr. Adam") in High School. Always perceived as a Math Nerd....once the movie was shown at school he became Mr Cool. He appeared only briefly carrying a sten gun.

Small world !!!

Hi Bob

No wonder something rang a bell as looking familiar when I saw that movie, as a kid we went to Quebec City and I spent many days just wandering around the old City.
