The rest of us were invited
to Rock Hudson's house...

:39:04
for parties, which were always such fun.
:39:07
Rock had a great sense of humor...
:39:10
and he was warm
and wonderful to be around.

:39:14
There was a party in his house
every night, which was terrific.

:39:19
We all used to say,
"Where's Elizabeth? Where's Jimmy?"

:39:23
Of course, they were out talking.
:39:25
I don't think there was
a romance of any kind there.

:39:28
I really don't.
But I think it was his way of saying:

:39:32
"Hey, Rock,
I can take Elizabeth away from you.

:39:35
"I'm the third character in the film,
and just like in the film...

:39:39
"she's yours.
Well, off-screen, she's not yours.

:39:43
"She has my attention."
:39:46
Sunday afternoons were very special
for all of us...

:39:50
'cause it was our only day off,
and we put in long hours on the film...

:39:54
which we all, I know I was happy to do.
:39:57
I think everybody else was, too.
:39:59
But we looked forward to Sundays.
I always went to church on Sunday...

:40:03
with two or three other members
of the cast...

:40:06
and part of the crew.
:40:08
Afterwards, everybody would come
to Withers USO at night...

:40:11
but we'd first go to the country club,
because there was a lovely pool there...

:40:15
and it was cool.
:40:18
We'd play water polo.
:40:22
They had these big, old,
what do you call them? lnner tubes!

:40:27
For old-fashioned tires, you know?
:40:29
The boys would get them, Rock especially.
:40:32
He would have a hoot and holler of a time,
where he'd get the two big, round things...

:40:37
and then everyone would have
to dive off the board to get through there.

:40:41
Dennis did it every time,
usually two at a time.

:40:43
He was a very good swimmer.
:40:46
He had a lot of fun with us there.
:40:48
We all had a good time
at the country club.

:40:53
It was the only pool anywhere around.
:40:56
It was greatly appreciated by all of us.
