Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
In 1919 Harold Lloyd was handed what he thought was a prop bomb, which he lit with his cigarette. It turned out to be real and exploded, blowing off Lloyd’s right thumb and index finger, and putting him in the hospital for months. When he recovered, he went back to making movies, wearing a white glove while on screen to hide his damaged right hand. In this film, Safety Last! (1923) he did his famous stunts dangling from ledges, clocks and windows, using only eight fingers.
In the famous shoe-eating scene in The Gold Rush, Charlie Chaplin twirls and eats the laces as if they were spaghetti. He later offers a bent nail to Big Jim as if it were a wishbone. The shoes used for the scene were made of licorice by a local confectioner. After three days of retakes, Chaplin and Mack Swain suffered unfortunate laxative effects consuming large quantities of the candy.
Nickie: “Shall I see you to your cabin?”
Terry: I don’t think so.
Nickie: “Good night.”
Terry: Night.”
Baroness: There’s nothing more irresistible to a man than a woman who’s in love with him.
Maria: In love with him?
Baroness: What makes it so nice is that he thinks he’s in love with you.
Maria: But that’s not true.
Baroness: Surely you noticed the way he looks into your eyes? You know, you blushed in his arms when you were dancing just now.
