Something makes me laugh very much in -Blimp- is after the duel(....and the wonderful shot indeed over the house, the night and the snow), when Candy exprime him self only by using his hands.

They were in love with each other - and having an affair. Until Deborah got her offer to move to Hollywood.

And remember that when they made Black Narcissus, that was with Powell's ex-mistress (Deborah Kerr) and his current mistress (Kathleen Byron). Kathleen told us that Deborah gave her some good advice on how to deal with Powell.

Micky Powell wanted Kathleen's last scene with Mr Dean to be played as if she was totally insane. Kathleen wanted to play it more restrained reasoning that Sister Ruth didn't think she was insane. She thought it was everyone else who was acting strangely.

Deborah advised Kathleen to say "Yes, Micky. Good idea Micky." And then do it the way she wanted to.

When he saw it, Micky said "It wasn't what I wanted, but it's very good." So he left it like that in the final cut.

Poor old Micky, he never stood a chance with those two conspiring against him

......when the flash back started, young C.Candy is born again...and after whistling, he recognize a fellow friend, and open his towel because he is "joyfull", and met the other completly nude ! Very laughing.

Steve Crook

They threw their arms open wide, but they kept their towels closed

Are you sure?

If you knew Steve better, you wouldn't ask that question - he knows the film backwards and inside out!

Well, you don't know that he's nude. You never see anything.

Hoppy keeps his towelling robe (& turban) on.
Clive has his back to you when he comes out of the pool and we only see him from the waist up. The attendant wraps him in a big towel (or towels), we don't see the details of how it/they are worn.

When they meet, Hoppy throws his arms open, but keeps his robe closed.

Clive throws his arms open and with it the towel that covered the upper part of his body. But as he's got his back to us again we don't see if there was another towel, or another part of the same towel, or anything like trunks, covering the lower part of his body. You certainly never see that he's completely nude.

But if it makes you laugh, you should continue to think that he is

So, it's a possibility ..... and a funny one for me .

When I told them about Clive "flashing", someone on the P&P list commented:

Is that when Hoppy exclaims "Why, they're both there? They told me you lost one at....????"
"Can't have, old boy, I'd have known about it"
I always assumed they were referring to his legs; maybe not then....
