I have been unable to spot any particular scene

It is difficult because the movie was filmed in multiple
locations. I was in the one meal scene where the young
man was arrested, but I couldn't find my own picture.
I was in the background somewhere in other mass scenes
of dancing and singing.

Oddly, we were not in any of the bizarre scenes and were
unaware of them at the time of filming.

We were extras only because it was something to do and
we had heard about it from a friend who had participated.
The pay scale was ridiculously low.

The stars are given decent quarters but the extras are at
the low end of the totem pole. That meant that meals
were cold by the time we were allowed to eat, and some
people got sick from cold weather exposure. On one bad
day we refused to show up for the filming.

        I remember the movie, but didn't see it. I tend not to see movies until they are released for home viewing. Which scene? Were you paid for the xtra role? (some are)
        • Yep, it doesn't take that long to show up on Netflix. — Trudy, Mon May 14 4:16pm
          Haven't been in a theater since about '90. I'd rather be on my sofa for a movie.

          ...were the mass singing and dancing ones. The pay is very low and is not an incentive to do it. Mostly it is a social thing. In this particular film the director and the business people were all... more
