Not a whole lot of the film is shown, but just enough. For
instance, there is no scene where the truck smashes into the
piled up wrecks, but we see the aftermath in bits and pieces.
We also see the scene where Richard describes how they got
the expressions of the extras as they viewed the burning
body
(by filming them watching a strip-tease act). There is a
great scene where Leo and Richard are watching the edited
film and Leo is overwhelmed and says to Richard something
like, "It's not just angry, it's bitter. Why are you so
depressed?" Richard says, "I'm not depressed. Hell, I'm the
happiest man in the world." Someone mentioned the scene where
Richard is directing the little girl running across a field
with her dog. It's shot in slow motion, with a bunch of long
dissolves (right term?)--very stylized, backed with some Cal
Tjader music. Probably my favorite scene in the movie.
