Descrizione
Action.
These days, a stand-in does pilates in front of green painted walls, while someone uses a computer to paint danger and the leading man's face into the shot.
But it wasn't always so easy...Hollywood once had a brand of man - part hero, part fool - that risked life and limb to put on a good show. They called their work "stunts" and "gags" but those words don't mean the same thing anymore.
The Fall Guy: 30 Years as The Duke's Double, is a look back at the original action stars of Hollywood. Men's men, unmatched in strength, skill, and bravery...yet rarely acknowledged outside the industry professionals who knew just how incredible their work really was.
