THE NORWEGIAN PHOTO






    

                      The identities of the six individuals featured above are, right to left, camera operator Ray Stella, production manager Robert Brown, producer David Foster, and associate producer Larry Franco. On the far left is stunt coordinator Dick Warlock. Second from left is none other than screenwriter Bill Lancaster, making a deserved cameo appearance. Shot several days before filming began by production still photographer Peter Sorel, the original idea as an "in" joke was to feature all the producers, but I was deemed too clean shaven - Bill was having lunch on the lot that day, so we shoved him in instead - I am now awfully glad that we did...

  1. My wife could have sworn there was a woman in there.

  2. The photo at the top and the photo in the film are two different photos. Look at the arm positions of Dick Warlock and Larry Franco.

    And yes, I also thought two were women. At the risk of insulting the men 1st Left and 2nd in from the right - is there any chance female faces were superimposed?
