Alternate still photo circulated throughout the Spanish-speaking markets, where of course “ciego” means “blind.” Comparing snow on everyone’s costumes proves the stills for BELOW ZERO, and its Spanish adaptation TIEMBLA Y TITUBEA (meaning “shivering and shaking”), were taken within seconds of each other. Character actor Bobby Burns actually has a second, different role in both movies (no dialogue was required from the heavily made-up character actor). He would appear later as the diner dragged out of the restaurant after being unable to pay his bill. Burns was once the co-star in a 1916-1917 comedy series made for the Vim film studio in Jacksonville, Florida; old friend Oliver Hardy worked as a supporting player in these. The snow, incidentally, was actually white cornflakes. They were edible, too.
