Since Harry Belafonte's death was reported on Tuesday, many pictures and remembrances of him have appeared on social media. Many pictures have been posted on local Facebook pages showing Belafonte in Hudson during the time he spent here while filming Odds Against Tomorrow. Yesterday, Neal Van Deusen sent me this picture, which shows Belafonte posing with the movie's other stars and some Hudson officials in front of 10 Park Place, which at the time was the firehouse of J. W. Edmonds Hose Company, No 1.
The filming of Odds Against Tomorrow coincided with the 165th anniversary of Edmonds Hose, the first of Hudson's volunteer fire companies, organized on April 17, 1794. In the picture are, from left to right, Harold Lieberman, then president of Edmonds Hose; Belafonte; Robert Ryan; John Kelly, then mayor of Hudson; Ed Begley; and Robert Wise, who directed Odds Against Tomorrow. Each of them is holding one of the commemorative coins produced to mark the anniversary. The coins were presented to all the members of the movie's cast.
