[NU Sports] Hollywood Comes to Ryan Field

[Roy Lamberton]

Right after the Lakefill was opened, one of the RTV grad students shot the
externals of a mid 1800's movie in 16 mm B & W out there. He was able to orient
all of his shots to get trees and bushes in the background, but no buildings.

I think it was in 1973, but I don't remember the title of the film - it was a
grad project...but for weeks these actors wearing 1960's clothes were wandering
around on the other side of the cooling pond.
