.... but Martha Raye has it the worst! A scene from the utterly insane Hellzapoppin. Hugh Herbert is apparently unaware that there's people standing in front of his targets... or is he?
That was absolutely facinatin'! The arrows are on a string and watching the choreography of the actors as they reach through the strings to grab an arrow is genius. e.g: At the 1:02 mark, he is bent down to retrieve a low arrow while effectively dodging the string above him. He then straightens up (1:03)and reaches over a string to grab an arrow there. He hands the arrows to his buddy (1:05)and puts his hand in his pocket(1:06), then an arrow flies in on that string (1:07), right between him and his arm! Good stuff!
