    It did say:

    Quoted message:

    Dudgeon was covered in “ugly face” makeup, but only one color was used, presumably red. A red filter was then placed over the camera lens to make all red elements invisible. While filming the scene, the camera operator removed the red filter from the lens to reveal the “ugly face” without having to cut or use any other special effects.

    They shoulda said "red blocking filter", I reckon ...

    Is it possible to remove a filter from a big movie camera at the exact right moment? It would be interesting to see the movie frame by frame. David
