Mike and Carol come home and notice Tommy Jamison in their backyard.
They go into the family room to talk to Bobby about this.
Tommy comes to the door.
Bobby sees him, and goes to the door.
Suddenly Mike and Carol have disappeared.
Bobby speaks to Tommy.
Bobby returns to Mike and Carol, who have reappeared.
So! All the backyard scenes with Tommy were done when Robert and Florence were not there. It is odd that they, as parents, never talk to, or acknowledge the boy. Perhaps, the actor, Eric Shea, never even met them.
Though this is all the same scene, Mike Lookinland films all his parts with Tommy on one day, then another day or time, the patio sliders and walls are taken out, and he does all the parts of the scene with Florence and Robert.
Good observations.
ReplyDeleteThat scene did always look odd to me.
Obviously filmed at totally different times.
And now that you mentioned it,Tommy never did interact directly with the parents.Maybe they ducked into the corner to hide from him!
Not sure if the walls were movable,but it looks here like they were.
