You little movie star, you. I worked as an extra in movies years ago and know that some actors and directors - do take after take, until things go "right." Remember one memorable day where we were called to the set at 8 A.M. and stood around the whole day - as the direcdtor decided he wanted a "sunset shot" which eventually he got. I am most thankful that the sun decided to cooperate.
Another time, one of the Assistant Directors ran after a nearby freight train to ask the engineer if he could ocme back down the tracks for a certain scene in the movie (which was "52 Pickup"). The engineer had to deliver the freight cars to the yard but . . . he did return later in the afternoon with some empty cars and was featured in the movie. Wonder how much he was paid for that "stunt"?
