Who could blame her for laughing? It was all so corny. However, Brenda's inability to keep a straight face during the 'NEW Esther' segment of this boring little movie, ultimately led to a number of takes being unusable. Yes, we eventually got the reasonably convincing shots we needed to advance the storyline, but it wasn't easy. On display in this short blooper reel though, are a few bits and pieces of film that were tossed out because of Brenda's constant need to giggle; which went against her character's newly exposed character.
And while I really wanted to use this scene (left) of a city bus rushing to Don's rescue as the gang closed in on him, my friend Bill noticed (after an early screening of the finished film with scene included) that the first bus was clearly not the same bus that Don eventually boards. I hadn't noticed the different paint jobs until he pointed it out. (I wonder how many other viewers would have noticed.) So this otherwise perfect visual addition to the big closing chase scene - which also featured a glimpse of the store my parents operated for a few years back in the late 1940s (Dairy Dale) - had to be sliced off and discarded forever. Or at least until an opportunity like this video blog out take bizniz came along.
