Dont Tick Off the Dummy

DON’T TICK OFF THE DUMMY he’s irate from the yelling, there’s no telling what will befall the scene, before sundown. Paul Newman’s balancing act becomes unhinged... the drop happens at the precipice of a proud building, this dummy slips and plummets. a mannequin, it seems, has the film crew reeling. the director collapses, slipping up — treating actors like flimsy paper dolls, a surreal moment for Preminger, close to his final act, can he recover if blue eyes dies? 6/4/2018 *A crazy way to make a point! While filming a fight scene, Newman throws a mannequin off the building. The director had to have medical attention, as he thought Newman fell for real! See Wikipedia: The Exodus Movie

Imagine the shock of the director and the shock of the wife of the supposed assassinated journalist as Paul indicates! Very interesting and well written story dear, Kim!
