....name the 1959 film where that same special effect was first used....i.e. the effect where the guy and girl are filmed underwater, but with a fake background, cos they shot the actors against a blue screen in a swimming pool, and then keyed in the background effects. This effect is consider passe' and commonplace today, cos anybody with a personal computer can shoot video and change the backgrounds via chroma key effects today.....e.g. see the documentary on the making of "Casino Royale" from 2006 where they show Eva Green and her body double swimming in identical red dresses in a Pinewood Studios water tank for the underwater elevator scenes, and how it was all filmed against a green screen and all the background shots were added in later during post production editing. But back in 1959 this was considerred state of the art for it's time, and the wetlook scenes in this 1959 film were done a whole lot better, cos you see lots of before and after wetlook scenes after the girl exits the water in her wet dress. The 1959 film made one rather hilarious mistake though when they added the fake backgrounds for the underwater scenes...cos they put hippos in the background with the swimming actors, and even a 7 year old knows that you can't go swimming with hippos, cos more people in Africa get killed by hippos than by crocodiles....so somebody forgot to tell the film editors that you can put hippos in the same shots as swimming actors.

I think I have given away too many clues already...

For some reason, the clip wouldn't play for me due to copyright restrictions, but I found the complete presentation also on Youtube.
