 The double did all the long shots, most of the medium shots and even appeared in two-shots when the hero had his back to the camera.The 'star' only did eleven days work in the entire film.He was extremely short in stature and unless he was alone, the camera could never show his feet, because if he was stationary he was standing on a box; if walking, the other actors were in specially dug troughs or ditches and for anything between, all other actors were required to stand with their legs apart and their knees bent."
