It was Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess to the rescue and yes the water was real and ice cold water at that. D.W. Griffith's "Way Down East". Because of modern insurance rules and legal issues we'll never see film making like this again. Incredible risks were taken. Real cold weather, real flowing water, wooden studio made "ice floes" and real actors leaping across the ice cold water. Actor Richard Barthelmess was wearing a heavy fur coat and had he slipped off and into the flowing river would likely have drowned and Lillian Gish in his arms with him. Risk taking we will never see again.

He's also the guy who gets hit by the motorcycle while car surfing on the running boards of two separate cars, and who tries to move a house by nailing his Ford to the wall and driving off - causing the frame to leave the bodywork behind. The brief clip of him hitting a tree which seems to have grown right in the middle of the road, is from Seven Chances.
