3. What movie is this?
It is based on a non-fiction book entitled Le
Front de l’Art by Rose Valland. The
film was originally helmed by Arthur Penn, but co-producer and star Burt
Lancaster axed him because Penn wanted to make more of a character study and
Lancaster insisted the action be revved up.
The film was shot on location in France.
No models were used. The air bombardment of the marshalling yard was symbiotic because the
French government wanted the area cleared anyway. (That less than one minute scene required
fifty men wiring TNT for six weeks.)
Lancaster (51) did all of his stunts.
This included sliding down a hillside.
When he injured his knee stepping in a hole while golfing, it was
written into the script that he would be wounded while fleeing under fire.
First one is a guess: 1: Zero Dark Thirty, 2: Gettysberg, 3: The Train
ReplyDeleteCorrect on the second and third, good guess on the first. Think Benghazi.
