Waterski Scenes


Pretty impressed that the actors were actually waterskiing. The usual way of filming it in movies was to have the actor in front of an obvious screen backdrop.

I noticed this, also.

Soon to be nun Dolores Hart seemed to be enjoying herself during those scenes.

She also appeared to have a serious nicotine habit as she is seen in several scenes inhaling away on her cigarettes. Her nicotine habit was up there with Bette Davis if this movie is any indication of real life.

As a 13 year old when this movie was filmed I recall various tobacco product commercials of the time. It seemed she was smoking one of the longer cigarettes available at the time and the only one I remember from then was Benson and Hedges which advertised its longer than normal cigarettes. One commercial showed someone on an elevator with the door closing on his cigarette, presumably due to its length.

This commercial may be viewable on youtube if you are interested.
