I want to record dialogue from an actor while the actor is sitting and one standing, kind of like in the scene, at 0:42 into it.

However, I keep being told to keep the mic no more than 18-24 inches away from the actor's mouth. Is their a way to record dialogue with a boom mic, at that distance? How did they do it for this scene? They did not have to use hidden lavs, especially since the movie came out in 1957. So what did they do exactly?
Thanks.
