Movie review - "The Stuntmen" (1973) **

Early documentary from Brian Trenchard-Smith, who met Grant Page while making it, this is a look at some of Australia's stunt men at the time, including Page - although I was never clear what TV show or movie they were working on. There's some talk of the philosophy of being a stunt man (the appeal, pay, worry about dying) and a lot of stunts. I found it a bit dull after a while, but then I don't really care about stuntmen. Best bit is when Trenchard Smith sets himself on fire to prove its safe then quickly douses the flames.
