Scenes
Selina (a blind woman played by Elizabeth Hartman) drinks a lot of pineapple juice, never having had it before and not knowing what the effect might be. She starts squirming, and goes behind a tree to relieve herself. Some viewers believe it is actually to move her bowels, as pineapple juice has a reputation as a laxative. Later she is offered more juice, but accepts only after being assured that a ladies' room is nearby.
