His Dog’s performance as Homeless Man #16’s dog at the soup kitchen was brutally excised from the final cut of Last Christmas .
One Man also suffered from performances being cut – “walking past a table” and “speaking to office worker” both failed to reach the screen. However, his scenes of queueing outside a church and eating in the church basement are shown almost entirely intact.
One Dog only had the one scene and, to be pedantic, she is not so much cut out of the film as just not being seen. The scene was shot from several angles and, in the picture above, she is masked by the table. Still, despite neither of us bothering Mr de Mille for a closeup, we both got paid the same rate as those who figured more prominently.
And who else can claim to have had expensive Belgian chocolates fed to him at midnight by a Dame of the British Empire and double Oscar winner?
