hi Michelle,

It's doubtful that real booze was used in those films, typical substitutes include cold tea for whisky, water and food colouring for brandy etc.

As Susan says, RN was on the wagon for certain periods.

However, John Mills tells a story of real beer being used for the final scene in "Ice Cold In Alex", and being the worse for wear after drinking five beers straight down for the required five takes.

Also Richard Burton told of using real whisky on a final shot one day in a film, and that scene requiring 43 takes.

So there are exceptions..........

Best

Tim.

You meant to tell me that they actually filmed him while he was drunk in The Beachcomber?
I know he tried really hard to stop drinking but it's really hard too. It's almost like me and my sour gummi worms I put one in my mouth and I want a gazillion more. I bet it slowed him down some though when they took a chunk out of his paycheck from This Happy Breed.
Does anyone know (about) how old he was when he started drinking?
