7. Kubrick the Movie Master Was Also a Chess Master

Kubrick actually called off filming for one entire day even though the film was behind schedule because he’d noticed that one of the actors — Tony Burton, the actor who played a garage worker who appears early in the film — had brought a chess board to the set. Kubrick proceeded to dismiss everyone and sit down with the glorified extra to play some chess, ultimately losing only one game in the entire series they played.
