Movie Man
When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

So that’s how they did it!

Courtesy of Mark Evanier’s blog, News from Me, here’s a video showing how they managed to the leopard-related scenes in the classic comedy, BRINGING UP BABY. There were a surprising number of special effects used — mainly because, according to Evanier, star Cary Grant was unneasy around the big cat.

    Thanks for highlighting my clip. I know Mark Evanier blogged it, but I’m the guy who actually made it. As I ran the film over and over, I discovered many more effects than Linwood Dunn discussed in the talk that inspired the clip. Hope I made things clear enough!
