Jack Kelly Joins the Navy! - Pt. III

Howdy!

Concluding Jack Kelly's 1959 visit to the USS Shangri-La (PLEASE DO NOT COPY THESE PHOTOS) :

Here's a full-length view of the Kellys
on deck with two sailors

Another nice shot of Jack andMay inside the carrier.
JK looks so handsome on the Shangri-La. But, even on land, Jack Kelly was "see-worthy". ;-> Okay, enough of my cringe-worthy puns. Now, how about a little game? Not poker, but "Name the Kelly Quote". I'll post a Jack Kelly quote--from his "reel" (movies/tv) life or from his real life--and you see if you can identify what production it came from (and JK's character's name), or what the real-life situation was. Here we go:
Kelly Quote #1: "BANG!"
(This isn't from a Maverick episode, but it is from Jack's real life when he was filming Maverick. A big hint: an old "TV Guide" article about Maverick reveals the situation where this quote was used.)
If you recognize the quote, please leave a comment here--good luck! :->

  1. Let me give this a whirl - wasn't this when Jim and Jack would try to get the drop on each other, and whichever one of them would successfully surprise the other would point and yell "Bang!"

  2. We have a winner! :)

    Yes, the "TV Guide" article says that whenever JK & JG ran into each other on the studio lot, the first one to see the other one would draw his prop pistol and yell, "BANG!" The loser was supposed to drop whatever he was doing and put up his hands. Legend had it that JK surprised JG once in the studio cafeteria, causing him to drop his tray of food. This wasn't true, although JK said that he did yell "Bang!" at JG in wardrobe and he had to put up his hands before he could finish putting on his trousers.

  3. I love these photos, both because they're of JK and the Navy is my favorite branch of the military. Bartista, what a swell job you've done collecting such intriguing info on this wonderful actor! I'm a big Jack Kelly fan and I'll keep visiting this site.
