While I was watching Turner Classic Movies last night, between movies was a teaser for a movie they are going to show Sunday afternoon US Eastern at 4:15 PM. A more recent Julie tells (among other things) what it was like to make that film including a rain scene where as she describes as using more than Singing in the Rain. The color teaser photo gives us an indication of how much.
I'll just copy what the television listings has about it.
In 1944, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Madison (James Garner) prides himself on being a cynical coward unwilling to step foot on shore during D-Day. His relaxed lifestyle attracts Englishwoman Emily Barham (Julie Andrews), whose husband and brother died in the war. But when Rear Adm. William Jessup (Melvyn Douglas) resolves to earn the Navy prestige by ensuring that a sailor will be the first to die in the invasion, he assigns the ill-fated duty to Madison, who will now be among the vanguard.
For those wondering, I looked into her bio. This film was shot just before she turned 30, and she's still with us.
Oh yes! When I was 7 or so, my mother marched us all down to see our first movie, The Sound of Music. There are several wetlook scenes, one with her and all the kids flipping over their canoe with her and the girls in dresses, and the "I Am Sixteen Going on Seventeen" scene where the 16 year old was in the garden during a rainstorm in a pretty pink party dress with a petticoat. These mental images were both shocking and exciting and helped cement wet clothes as a fetish in my very young mind.
FYI, there are plenty of behind the scenes photos showing how Robert Wise made that Julie Andrews wet scene from The Sound of Music.The boat scene and the dock landing scene were shot on entirely different days, and not only that Robery Wise not only re-wet Julie Andrews down with a watering can on one day, he actually reshot that scene twice on different days and rewetted her with the watering can again on a 2nd day of re shoots. This is evidenced by the behind the scenes photos....i.e. note how in one watering can scene director Robert Wise is wearing white pants and a white hat while watering Julie down, and in another photo Wise is wearing dark pants and a dark hat....so he re wet Julie again on a 2nd day of reshoots.
There is behind the scenes film footage of the making of the boat capsize scene, but that is not in the main footage, It is on the personal 16mm amateur film footage Robert Wise shot himself for his personal archives. You can see that footage on the 50th Anniversary DVD release of the film where they show some of Wise's home movies in the DVD extras section.
Other notable Julie Andrews wet scenes =
1964 Torn Curtain (Julie in the water in a dress with Paul Newman) 1970 Star (watered again with a watering can on stage show) 1986 Duet For One (Julie's only no bra see thru wet t shirt/night shirt scene)
I am not sure what film YeaHuno is referring to, but it was not Julie Andrews, because she only did one topless scene in her life, when directed by her husband Blake Edwards in the film S.O.B.
Love you, too
