THE SKY DIVERS is an entertaining short subject from MGM in color which gives the viewer a behind-the-scenes look at the making of THE GYPSY MOTHS starring Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr, both of whom are shown on camera talking about the film experience. Burt also demonstrates his skill at some parachuting stunts he did for the first time, as required for his role.
The aerial photography of the free falling divers is wonderful to look at and how it was accomplished is demonstrated as we see some pre-production work done before filming with director John Frankenheimer and his team of experts planning the stunts.
Produced and directed by Dale Mackey, it's a short obviously used as a promotional piece by MGM to introduce movie-goers to their feature-length film.
