Chaplin used a prop shoe made out of liquorice candy; these days some sort of gelatine or fruit leather would be used. The shoe nails were made from hard candy. Reportedly Chaplin (and Mack Swain) had to eat so many of the fake shoes during retakes that they did become sick. Eric Stott |

I'm pretty sure I've read that the Donner party cooked the leather of snowshoe lacings, shoes, and boots after turning to that other source of sustinence. Was there ever a movie made of the Donner party ordeal? I just did a quick search and a PBS documentary by Ric Burns, _The Donner Party_ (1992). Ric is Ken Burns's brother; they worked together on _The Civil War_ (1990). (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/donner/) The IMDb also hows TV drama from 1978, _Donner Pass: The Road to Survival_, which one user in effect called a bad soap opera. As far I can tell, those are the only film representations of this famous episode in Western history. -- Frank in Seattle ____ Frank Richard Aloysius Jude Maloney "Millennium hand and shrimp." |

I believe a guy ate a car once...!!! He had it disassembled and cut up into little pieces... I don't think he ate it at one sitting though. dave www.Shemakhan.com |

One really useful movie site is Imdb.
According to them, the scene where The Lone Prospector and Big Jim have a boot for supper took three days and 63 takes to suit director Charles Chaplin. The boot was made of licorice, and Chaplin was later rushed to hospital suffering insulin shock. hope this casts some light on your question. www. imdb.com - click on the trivia tab for some interesting and querky stuff regarding the movie of your choice. cheers, LadyJane -- "Never trust a skinny cook" and/or "Save planet earth - it's the ONLY ONE WITH CHOCOLATE!" |
