Charles Halton a contortionist?

I couldn't believe the scene where Lionel Stander was "exercising" the boss. It didn't look like trick photography, and that little man was pretty old to be able to be twisted into a pretzel that way.

I guess it's like looking at clouds. You see one thing and I see another. Peace.

That was pretty amazing. Especially when Lionel Stander jumped on him at one point to weight him down during the exercise.

We never get a clear shot of his face when he is doing the contortioning. My bet is that it was a stunt double who was made up to look like Charles Halton, although I can't be sure.
