It's quite an entertaining movie, actually. Impressive cast, including debuts from Harvey Lembeck, Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson. The always reliable IMDb suggests Jack Warden makes his debut, too, but then they list him as having appeared in bit parts in Sunset Blvd. and The Asphalt Jungle, both released the year before this movie. I'm glad that's settled. I ignored the miscroscopic background vehicles except these two forklifts and a ground conveyor:
