TIL it was so hot while filming It's a Wonderful Life that they had to take a day off for heat exhaustion.

We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the tricks, lies, and dupes their favorite movies have pulled on them — here are some of their (and our) responses!

1. The leg in the poster for The Graduate doesn't actually belong to Anne Bancroft, who played Mrs. Robinson, but actor/model Linda Gray. She was paid $25.

2. John Dugan was only 20 when he played Grandpa Sawyer in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
