Before we leave the previous sequence, I want to share a bit of trivia about how the shooting of Gerard was done. According to Director of Photography, Richard Shore, the production had to go to unusual means to accomplish it. Claire's gun was loaded with blanks (obviously - James Storm might have had just a slight problem with real bullets ) but they had to make it look like the bullet went through the window when Claire shot Gerard. So, believe it or not, just off-camera they had a crew member armed with a sling-shot and a b.b., they then placed a sheet of plexiglass in front of the window to protect Nancy Barrett from both the b.b. and the shattering glass, and then when the time came to shoot the gun, Nancy fired it, the crew member fired the b.b., thus shattering the glass, and finally James Storm took a rag soaked in stage blood and slapped it to his face. Voila!
