Naked in the Sun (1957)
My father was the Art Director
My father was the Art Director for this film. The photo above is him holding the clapperboard while shooting a scene in the Everglades. During a break in filming he married my mother-to-be and went to Jamaica for their honeymoon. She was a British subject (Northern Ireland) and was incorrectly told by the travel agent that she didn't need anything special to return to the U.S. When dad had to return to resume filming, she was stopped and detained for attempting to re- emigrate into the U.S. (Jamaica was still a colony of the British Empire) Dad had to leave her there to straighten things out, because of the huge cost of location filming. Fortunately, dad had connections with the Episcopal archbishop and she was allowed to stay in the Governor's House for the duration of her six week 'holiday'while her emigration status was established and he finished the film. Rough start for a marriage, but the film was completed on time and they spent 55 happy years together.
