Patrick and Diana get into a veteran car; Diana puts on a groovy kind of face\/eye shield and they drive off; they stop and the director gives instructions to Diana; as they start off again funny business ensues as Diana puts her feet up, then jumps from the car, leaps back in, clutches her head and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Diana, in an evening outfit of a chiffon over harem pants, has her make-up touched up. Another sequence is shot with a different vintage car; when it doesn&#8217;t start, Diana gets from the back seat into the front and prepares to drive while Patrick goes to the rear to push, and ends up with a blackened face from the exhaust. He gets in; Diana drives off.<\/p>\n<p>Commentator says the crew are trying to complete all these end sequences in one day&#8217;s shooting. Diana, in a blue cat suit, chews gum while receiving direction. In this sequence, Diana and Patrick start to push the veteran car which zooms off without them as they chase after it.<\/p>\n<p>Note: according to a press release on file, this series was the first in Colour.
