    The man who made the bomb was producing mumps and measles in a secret laboratory. An almost entirely unseen character, he appears for about five seconds with his head covered by a single-piece hood. The director asked the man to take the role. He turned it down because he was a member of ACTT (the film production technicians' union). At that point the director offered five pounds, which was accepted on the condition of complete secrecy. He was the 2nd/3rd assistant director, but his true identity was never discovered.
