Giant scissors, giant pencil



[“Movie stagehands pushing a 400-pound pair of gigantic scissors on a dollie next to two men carrying a 21-ft. pencil, just some of the props that created the illusion of a dwindling hero for the movie The Incredible Shrinking Man at Universal Studios.” Photograph by Allan Grant, September 1956, Hollywood, California.

Fantastic! Thank you for showing that. – I hope you don't mind it if I pinch your idea and show the photo on my blog too.

It’s free to all from Life, Gunther. As my son Ben would say, “Go for it!”
