These lead soldiers were designed to be used as distant extras in a forced perspective shot to give the impression of hundreds more extras than MGM could employ. Most are only painted on the camera-facing side. This set came from the collection of Ib Melchior, a writer and film producer/director who passed away in 2015.
3. Collection of 67 production photographs and behind-the-scenes photos from the film [estimate: $600-800; sold: $4,250]
