Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 QUOTE That casino scene has to be one of the all time single take shots made. Roland, The movie with the single longest no cut-away shot is Orson Wells's opening scene in his 1958 film "Touch Of Evil." Best scene in "Castle Keep" is Lancaster and O'Neal firing that cool mounted .50 Browning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland, Headless Thompson Gunner Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 The browning was cool but weren't they shooting at a little armed observation plane? What was the deal with that movie, were they all ghosts or something? Of course the single longest one take has to be Hitchcock's Rope. They only stopped when they ran out of film.

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Roland, Actually in "Rope", the mighty craftsman Hitch managed to use cuts when characters walked into the camera, and when the screen went dark for a split second, Hitch made the cuts. He aslo used a long uninterrupted tracking/dolly scene in "Frenzy" when the camera backs out of the strangled ex-wife's office, down the stairs, and across the crowded street. Yah, they were the fallen dead perpetually fighting battles. The sort of allegorical image that was to be even more prevalent in post Vietnam movies.
