Death Line

Year: 1972 Runtime 1 hour 27 minutes

Direction

Trivia Christopher Lee agreed to do the film for scale because he wanted to work with Donald Pleasence. Despite this, the two never share the screen together due to their large height difference (Lee was 6ft5 and Pleasence is 5ft6). Director Gary Sherman kept them in separate shots until Lee sits down at the end of the scene so that he wouldn't have issues fitting them both into the same frame.
