The Wandering Shadows........


Enjoyed this film very much --- but noticed some "lighting" problems with the 2nd tennis match !

IC volunteers to take the side of the court with the sun in his eyes --- then, as he approaches his side, the position of his shadow makes it evident that the sun will be in TT's eyes, not his ! Could have been "Lifemanship," but wait --- there's more ! After IC wins the first game, they switch sides, and their shadows in the first few back-and-forth scenes clearly indicate that the sun is in BOTH of their eyes !!

Evidently, the director must have filmed a number of lobbing and volleying shots, at different times or on different days, and then spliced them together.

"A bride without a head !"
"A wolf without a foot !"
