Movie Where Gym Floor Opens To Pool

There s some teen movie i saw a really long time ago.

Movie where gym floor opens to pool.

The only scene i fully remember is when there s a lot of couples dancing on the high school gym floor and then the gym floor retracts to reveal a pool underneath. The gym floor swimming pool is real while most of the film was shot on a set the director decided that for the high school dance scene he needed to use a real life high school. In which film is there a scene in with a gym dance floor opens to reveal a swimming pool. Feel free to add your own i d love to hear them.

The gym floor opening up into a pool is a beloved movie moment. Built in 1939 there s a 25 yard pool under the gym floor. In the extended cut you actually see someone leaning on the switch but that s rarely shown on tv. Here s a list in no particular order of the 16 greatest school dance scenes in movies.

I m pretty sure this is quite a famous film but my mind has gone blank. You put in a key turn it and the gym floor parts in the middle unveiling the pool. A dance floor has been set up over the pool. Everyone dancing then jumps into the pool and i m pretty sure that s the end of the movie.

The floor in the movie has been lost to time but recently pacific floor installed a new maple court in the space. Because the gym hovers around 60 percent humidity pacific floor acclimated the flooring material longer than usual and installed it with a moisture content around 9 says sales manager mark herthel. The gym floor that opens in the middle to reveal the swimming pool underneath was filmed at beverly hills high school in beverly hills california usa was real and is still in regular use. This gym has a basketball court with a swimming pool underneath the floor can open and turn into a pool.

I still think that is pretty impressive now for a high school gym let alone for a high school gym back in 1947 when the film was released. It opens up and they fall in. All i remember is everyone dancing some trouble making kids opening the gym floor and everyone falling into the pool. The same gymnasium moving floor was used in a similar school dance scene in whatever it takes 2000 fifty four years later.

It s a wonderful life.
