THE PARENT TRAP - Body doubles & Split screens

-
Image
The 1961 audience was totally wowed by the filming of TWO Hayley Mills in Disney's THE PARENT TRAP.   David Swift, director, was able to create the illusion of twins through the use of body doubles and a split screen. Ub Iwerk and Bob Broughton were the geniuses behind the new technological advancement in film. In creating the illusion of Hayley being her own twin, these scenes had to be filmed twice. Actress double, Susan Henning, stood in for placement during the filming of the split screen shots. Hayley would then, change clothes and wig for a re shoot of the opposite twin. Everything involved in the scene remained the same - camera, set, lighting, props, etc. for continuity. The other part of the screen is then filmed with the opposite - previously filmed - side which would be blacked out with a matte. The two strips of film were rephotographed one frame at a time. The 'split' in the screen is masked with a 'seam,' or background element - bedposts, door frames, ...

AUNTIE MAME - It's the Theatre, Dahling!

Image
Mame Dennis (played by Rosalind Russell) is a free spirited woman living a bohemian lifestyle, whose mantra is "Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!" Her best friend and sidekick, Vera Charles (portrayed by Coral Browne), is (apparently) a well known actress on Broadway... so she likes to inform all who will listen.

The two friends are thrilled at the prospect of revisiting their stage alliance.   Unfortunately for Vera and her cast, it turns out that some Divas are not adaptable to simple 'walk on roles.'

OVERBOARD - Remakes! What's the deal with the SUBtitles?!

      Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn    OVERBOARD synopsis - After a spoiled, wealthy yacht owner is thrown overboard and loses her memory, a mistreated employee convinces her that she is his working class wife.  Writer, Leslie Dixon, was on board for the 2018 remake, so the film happily retains the original concept, [including some of the original dialogue]. The noticeable difference to the remake of OVERBOARD was the gender swap of the main characters and their family. [ChatterBox Divas has already addressed the differences /similarities for the films - REMAKES:  Episode 121 , so I will not be listing those here.]  But... "What's the deal with the SUBtitles ?!"  We did a deep dive into the cultural changes in filming the remake - and found this helpful information.                                                   ...
