The streets and buildings of Guthrie are again being used for an upcoming movie. The 1920 drama movie “You Can’t Win” is based on the novel Jack Black.
The filming crew was spotted above the Blue Belle Saloon on Monday morning, particularly the upstairs portion of the building – known as Miss Lizzie’s Bordello.
You Can’t Win is an autobiography by adventurer Jack Black, written in the early to mid-1920s and first published in 1926. The book tells of his experiences in the hobo underworld, freight-hopping around the still Wild West of the United States and Canada. He tells of becoming a thief, burglar, and member of the yegg (safe-cracking) subculture, exploring the topics of crime, criminal justice, vice, addictions, penology, and human folly from various viewpoints, from observer to consumer to supplier, and from victim to perpetrator.
The book was a best seller in 1926. It has been republished several times.
Mary Coffin with the Chamber of Commerce says the production crew has been here about a month and is expected to be here until the end of Nov.
