Odd scene: onlookers near Cash McCall's private plane?
In the scene where Lory Austen drives Cash McCall up to the fence outside his private plane at the airport, there is this small crowd of onlookers who seem to be there for no apparent reason, other than just staring at his plane. There are some well-dressed adults, as well as four young boys, each of whom has a baseball mitt on their hand.
Just what was the deal with that group of onlookers? Was his plane something of a spectacle that would draw a small crowd of onlookers, or what?? And back then, did boys typically go around with a baseball mitt wherever they went?
