I had been staring at them from a distance wondering how the water level got that high on farm land here. One thing that surprised me was the water lines they even painted on the buildings about 6 ft or so off the ground to simulate the mississippi standing flood levels before there were levees high enough to contain the river. Ron howards family was there and they were so nice to us peons. The filming was in the winter of 74 lightly swollen Sacramento River near colusa Ca. I was at the lead of city folks that chased the king and the other dufas along the river.im seen throwing my hat down at the end of the chase when the two rascals we chased ,shoved off in a boat and escaped. I got to do an extra scene a couple times. I got the job as a fluke when i answered an add in the local paper. I was never interested in film and didn't even know anyone in school plays much less. Well it was a 10 to me.It was my first film id ever worked in.
