I’ve not listened to this episode yet – it’s in a long queue.
However an interesting story came out of my work in a 130 staff meeting one of my colleagues claimed that she had been an extra in this film and had chatted for 3 days to the stand in for Mr Poitier. She wasn’t an actress and it was when she was a student so it paid the bills, however the stand in she (and others) chatted to for 3 days was Denzel Washington! She speculated that this was because the producers were concerned that Sidney Poitier would struggle to make the film and their back up was Denzel? I have no idea if this was just idle speculation and I’ve not been able to find anything on the internet about this.
