Until these postings, I did not realize Silver Springs included aspects similar to both Cypress Gardens and Weeki Wachee.
ReplyDeleteThe James Bond-like fetishism here astounds me, but I must admit succumbing to entrancement.
How did Betty Frazee drink a Coke underwater? Without drowning? I don't even know how to open my eyes underwater or hold my breath.
I think they filmed Tarzan movies at Silver Springs, too.
My favorite is the one of the young woman drinking a Coke underwater. With enough training & practice, it was easy to do.

Really! I loved THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON as a little girl. When I referenced James Bond, I had no idea three of his movies were filmed there. It makes sense to shoot CROSS CREEK at the same location as THE YEARLING. LEGEND always seemed so other-worldly, I never realized it was our own backyard. I wonder which parts of REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE show Silver Springs. Apart from interiors, all I can remember are the abandoned house with the drained swimming pool and the planetarium. Several of the other titles are unfamiliar to me. Thank you for posting this list.
