Jules Jacot #3



Judging from the image quality, these scenes were shot on 35mm film back in the days when black & white cinematography was still a fine art. I have no information on how these scenes were filmed, but it appears that the cameraman (and perhaps an assistant) were inside the big cage along with Jules and the lions. (The still photographer who photographed the St. Louis Zoo’s lion act for the View-Master reel that was released in 1951 was also inside the big cage.)
