Short Cuts

Long Shot
Close-up

It's interesting to see how they fake The Brady 4th wall in Robert Reed's close-up in a dining room scene in "The Private Ear". In the long shot, he would have a wall, not the dining room curtain behind him. Then, as a splash to fill out the frame, they put in two empty dining room chairs behind him, while clearly all 8 seats are being used.

  1. Doesn’t the China cabinet usually appear behind Mike?
