Connection
Jim Davis is a Actor American born on 26 august 1909 at Edgerton (USA)
James "Jim" Davis (born Marlin Davis, August 26, 1909 – April 26, 1981) was an American actor, best known for his role as Jock Ewing in the CBS prime-time soap opera, Dallas, a role which continued until he was too ill from a terminal illness to perform.
Les causes exactes de la mort de Jim Davis restent inexpliquées : il semble qu'il soit mort chez lui, dans son sommeil, alors qu'il se remettait des suites d'une intervention chirurgicale due à un ulcère perforé à l'estomac. Larry Hagman aurait, par ailleurs, confirmé dans une interview au magazine People qu'il était atteint d'un cancer, et certains vont jusqu'à évoquer une tumeur au cerveau. La détérioration de son état de santé est visible dans la série Dallas, au cours de la quatrième saison (1980/81), où l'acteur porte une perruque.

The film opens during the American Civil War. Col. Cord McNally (John Wayne) has instructions telegraphed to his close friend, Lt. Ned Forsythe (Peter Jason), in charge of the Union troops on a Union army payroll train. However, Confederates led by Capt. Pierre Cordona (Jorge Rivero) and Sgt. Tuscarora Phillips (Christopher Mitchum) hijack the train. They have an elegant plan of listening in on the telegraph wires, greasing the tracks to stop the train, disconnecting the payroll wagon from the engine so it would roll back down the hill, using a hornet's nest to force the Union guards to jump off the train, then catching the train with many ropes tied to trees. In the process, Lt. Forsythe is fatally injured.
