Four hundred extras from the set of the 1955 film ‘Fellow Travelers’ disappeared into the Burbank mountains. During the filming of a ‘long march’-type scene in which thousands of Communists supposedly fled to Russia through a mountain pass (the Burbank mountains were used as a substitute), the extras went missing and were never heard from again.
