Facts about The Gypsy Moths
According to Frankenheimer the dancers in the go-go club were local Kansas girls, not city girls, because they looked authentic.
John Phillip Law was cast as Malcolm Webson, the youngest of the three skydiving barnstormers, but had to be replaced by Scott Wilson, because of an injury to his wrist. John Frankenhiemer wanted a close-up of him landing after a parachute jump and while in harness he was raised just out of camera shot by a crane, then released to float into the shot. When he landed, he fell and broke his wrist badly when he put his hand out to break his fall.
TCM occasionally plays a 15-minute long documentary short entitled "The Sky Divers", narrated by Wink Martindale, on the making-of this film. The short is also provided on the Warner_Home_Video DVD, often cited as simply a "Behind-the-scenes documentary" featurette.
