You know how we have lasting memories of insignificant events? My memory of a scene in this movie is only indirectly related to filming through the windows of a car being washed, from the opposite-side viewing perspective of prisoners in a work crew, which showed Harmon in a summer dress with her large but fully clothed breasts pressed up against the wet and soapy windows as she cleaned the roof of the vehicle. My enduring memory was really ingrained by the movie being shown as a fundraiser by students at Central Catholic High School where my older brother was enrolled and my mother’s audible gasp as she viewed the scene with disapproval.
