In my first work there is a scene, which intrigued the PRODUCERS in my country a lot.
They said it would be very expensive to carry the prisoners through a place full of black Mambas snakes… … Even this special effect that would enrich my work, and as they could not think better of putting the project back in the drawer.
If my memory isn’t failing, I think there were some other shots around that pier in the film. So I guess Mann said “fuck it, bring me a mailbox and we’ll take care of that shot here, rather than in front of the Wigand house” lol.
A lot of the time the camera was not tied down to a head, but sitting on a sandbag, to get a hybrid hand-held look. One time the camera started to fall forward, and Al caught it, lol.

Great movie
Is that when he finds the bullet in his mailbox? They filmed it on a pier? Unless it’s a scene from the film I’ve forgotten?
Albert Ramos at the Dolly
“Ok everyone, we are doing the pick up from yesterday..”

I suppose it was easier to bring the mailbox to the camera than vice versa?

That’s Key Grip Scotty Robinson far right.
