Asking the important questions.

>One day, when director [Ken Annakin](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/59/Ken_Annakin_-_1969.jpg) was shooting *Swiss Family Robinson* (1960) for [Walt Disney](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Walt_Disney_1946.JPG), he took stunt man Freddie Clarke aside and gave him his instructions for the following day. >”On Thursday,” he said, “I’m going to shoot the big scene with the pirates. I want you to do a fall from the edge of those cliffs, missing the rocks below, and then hit the sea.” >Clarke studied the eighty-foot drop, the sharp rocks, and the shark-infested waters for a moment or two and then asked quietly, “What do I do Friday?” _________________________ **Source:** Boller, Paul F., and Ronald L.
