lion
Anyone know much about how the business with the lion was accomplished? It looks dangerously real (or really dangerous), but surely there was some trickery...?
"I beseech ye in the bowels of Christ, think that ye may be mistaken."
My guess is it's a double-exposure. The lion's movements in an empty cage could be filmed, and the camera could stay in the same place for Chaplin to do his acting in an empty cage as well. Then the shots are combined.
