"Watermelon 15 cents," the
Mario Sanchez work purchased by Grant that later appeared in
That Touch of Mink. The artwork can be seen at the Key West Museum
of Art and History at the Custom House on Front Street. An extensive
collection of Sanchez's work can be seen both there and at East
Martello Tower.
Studio publicity referred to the subject
of this shot as "a little Cuban girl who came on the set
to entertain Grant between takes." The suave star looks
totally smitten.
February, 1959: On location, Grant
greets a local school class possibly from Sigsbee Elementary,
the school on the base then in its first year of operation. These
students look around ten years old, so they're all turning sixty
next year.
