A fight between Errol Flynn and Alan Hale in The Prince and the Pauper is covered in the script by one line: “He runs him through with his sword.” Counting long shots, close ups and medium shots, the duel took three days to film. At the conclusion, Hale, who has been ill, fainted and Flynn could scarcely lift his arm.
