Akim Tamiroff was required to stick the butt of a lamb's tongue into his mouth for his grotesque death scene. Orson Welles felt this was necessary to achieve the proper effect he wanted--a criminal who had been strangled so savagely that his tongue was unnaturally distended from his mouth. As it turned out, though, the lamb's tongue proved to be too disgusting to show onscreen, so Tamiroff's unenviable ordeal was for nothing.
