Papillon deja vu scene


Strange no one has remarked about how the swamp/bayou scenes in Nevada Smith with McQueen as a prisoner were amazingly like the ones in the later 1970s Papillon with Dustin Hoffman. I mean same actor, similar clothing, same scenario except no encounter with lepers! (<:

I haven't scene Papillon since it was out in the theaters, but it reminded me of it. Only thing missing was eating bugs.

Absolutely: Convict hard labor in a swamp, scheming to get a boat and supplies etc. I wouldn't be surprised if this played into the decision to cast him in Papillon.

"What kind?",
"The forever kind...".

I just saw it tonight and "Papillon" came to mind when I was viewing that swamp sequence.
