Stranded in Packing Cases

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

Irene Dunne and Douglas Fairbanks Jr were left stranded in packing-cases 30 feet above San Pedro docks one day recently. They were doing a scene for The Joy of Living, and were being hoisted aboard ship in packing cases when the winch machine stalled. They were up there for nearly half an hour before the winch was repaired.
