I was born in 1960 next to the university and lived down the street from the Dade Co. Auditorium. This film is priceless.

Now first of all, the couple are hardly secured in that thing, making me wonder what would happen if they had an argument! They get a birds eye view of the many pastimes around, like the shoreline, the farm land and other locales. Suddenly, the family feels they need a time out for a swim.A time out.. from what?
