About the movie still....

Robert, I always look at your posts because in addition to having cool chips, the movie stills or lobby cards are always interesting as well. In this still, on the surface, it looks like 3 men playing poker. But looking closer, it appears that the scene is posed and erroneously portrayed. What game is being played, with all cards face-down. Players on left and right appear to not have any chips. While they could be all-in, the pot is too small. The chips in front of the middle player are too close to the pot and block his hand (cards). What are the discards closest to camera point of view and then discards to left of those?

All my questions are rhetorical, but thanks for the image and please, continue to show these things. Whenever I go to an antique store I am always on the lookout for gambling related lobby cards, posters and stills! You also have me looking for put 'n take devices!!! vbg
