Didja Notice?
At 10:50 on the DVD, a light suddenly moves across
Sapphire's seated body as she speaks to Steel. I think it
was probably the result of a production crewmember
maneuvering a reflector panel on the set to illuminate the
actors as Steel takes a seat at the table next to Sapphire.
At about 11:47 on the DVD, it seems like actor David
McCallum as Steel may have made a slight slip in his
delivery. He asks Sapphire how many other spirits is Sam
Pearce expecting at the railway station, saying, "One?
Five? Ten? A thousand? A hun--. I mean, there must be a lot
of applicants, surely." It seems he was about to say "a
hundred" after he had already said "a thousand", which would
be a bit odd to suddenly drop to a lower number in his list
of possibilities. It may be that the originally scripted
dialog was "One? Five? Ten? A hundred? A thousand?"
but he mixed up the last two numbers and caught himself part
way and just continued with the next part of dialog, "I
mean, there must be a lot of applicants, surely."
Listen:
a lot of applicants
Is anyone able to identify what the pin on the front of
Private Pearce's cap is? Presumably, circa WWI.
