Middle finger of the month ( Lew Smith, Barbara Stanwyck, Clark Gable and Bill Hickman)

By Mona Goldwater, Gestures Ed.

"This photo was sent to the race car driver Johnnie Parsons, who played a driver in the film. Parsons had flipped the bird to his chief mechanic Harry Stephens as a reaction to the constant signals to slow down he kept giving him during a race. Smith and Gable had watched that race from John’s pit box and witnessed the whole thing and decided to mock him for it."

Via thisisnotporn.net.  I found two other instances of the image via TinEye, but none give the photographer's name. . .
