Outstanding Overall BluRayDVD | 2015
Burt Lancaster always insisted that this was both his best and his favorite film of his career.
Prior to making the film, star Burt Lancaster, despite being quite athletic, had a fear of water and took lessons from Olympian and UCLA water polo coach, Bob Horn. Lancaster trained at the pool at his own house and one at UCLA.
Star Burt Lancaster worked out continuously throughout the production of the film to maintain a high level of fitness. Lancaster did numerous push-ups and sit-ups every morning before each shoot to stay lean and solid. He gained twenty pounds of muscle by doing weights, running, karate, and aerobics.
Although the critical response at the time was mixed, critics were unanimous in their praise of Burt Lancaster's physique, especially considering he was 52 at the time of filming.
Burt Lancaster called the film "Death of a Salesman in swimming trunks."
"Kevin Gilmartin Jr.: They took the water out of the pool because I'm not a good swimmer. I'm bad at sports and, at school, nobody wants me on their team. Ned Merrill: Well, it's a lot better that way, you take it from me. At first you think it's the end of the world because you're not on the team. Till you realize... Kevin Gilmartin Jr.: Realize what? Ned Merrill: You realize that you're free. You're your own man. You don't have to worry about getting to be captain and all that status stuff. Kevin Gilmartin Jr.: They'd never elect me captain in a million years. Ned Merrill: You're the captain of your soul. That's what counts. Know what I mean?"
"Ned Merrill: I'm cold. What's the matter with that sun? There's no heat in it."
