The Bruce

A Dunfermline schoolgirl skipped school one day and landed a part in this, crowning Robert the Bruce. She went on to film other scenes, including a corpse. Although she never got paid, she claims it was the most exciting thing that happened. She was shy because she'd never been in front of a camera before, but she found it easy, as the set was closed when Oliver Reed was in the coronation scene. The crown on Sandy (Robert The Bruce) kept slipping off his wig . He told the girl that inside was a dot which was supposed to sit at the back. This helped. The next scene was perfect and they kept it in the film, where she smiles at her friends next to her, happy that it stayed on.

UK versions were cut by 16 secs by the BBFC to remove all shots of women's bloodstained breasts.
