Bazin cites as an example Chaplin's The Circus: all trick shots are permitted, but Charlie really has to go into the lion's cage and be with the lion in a single shot. [Deleuze, Cinema 1, 1986: 157c]

Bazin citait « Le cirque » de Chaplin : tous les trucages sont permis, mais il faut bien que Charlot entre dans la cage du lion, et soit avec lui dans un plan commun. [Deleuze Cinéma 1, 1985: 211d]
