After demonstrating for the cast, he was able to get Shelley Winters up against the flames. "People will say, 'Wow! Is that really he said. "Barry Newman, Leslie Nielsen and Susan Clark also got in beyond where a stuntman should take over." He has done 75 fire stunts since he discovered the gel and in the past five years alone has done stunt work in 40 films.

His stunts included car knock-downs, kiteflying, and snow skiing. He will never forget one particular stunt with a well-fed leopard that turned into a terrifying three-hour cat and mouse game because the animal would not let him go. A healthy respect for the danger involved in what he does keeps him on his toes. He says he has never injured himself on a stunt except for breaking a leg when he was hit by a truck en route to a stunt location. By ANN GUARINO New York Dally News Servlc NEW YORK "Fire is a terrifying thing," says Grant Page, a movie stunt-man who has been lighting up as a human torch for the past decade.

"The more I work with It, the more I know fire is the worst way to die." He came to New York to publicize his work in "City on Fire," the disaster film made In Canada with a name cast that includes Ava Gardner, Henry Fonda and Shelley Winters. It's about the accidental destruction of an entire city when an oil refinery catches fire. As stunt coordinator Page choreographed 150 fiery extras in a burning episode, and "Not one person got so much as a singed eyebrow," he said. Page also did stunts as six different fire victims, although one did land on the cutting room ftoor. A 20-year veteran of dare-devil stunts, Page developed his work with fire after discovering that an opaque water gel made from the sap of the Australian ti tree was being used to help reduce the shock fire victims suffer.

"The gel Isn't magic," he said. "It doesn't stop the burning. It increases tolerance so you burn four or five times as long. It took me eight years to learn to use it properly," he said. For fire stunts, Page smears the gel all over his body and wears regular clothing.

After being doused with napalm, he slaps two handfuls of the gel over his eyes just as he is torched on cue for a scene. Timing is important as well as standby stunt-men with blankets to smother the flames. According to Page, "City on Fire" is the first film where the gel makes It possible to see faces of actors where normally a stuntman would be.
