John Richardson reacts as his screen-test costar pulls out a gun. Photographer Loomis Dean included no notes in his files about the shoot, so it's unclear exactly what scene from the film is being performed — but it's very likely a moment from the beginning of Secret Service, when the lovely but troubled Contessa Teresa "Tracy" di Vicenzo aims at 007 in a hotel room.
