Shooting began today in front of the hotel, where they filmed a "tobaggan hire" sequence not used in the finished print. They then moved elsewhere in the locality and were filmed falling backwards together into snow. Beatles "doubles" wee also in action the first day, filmed riding on horse-drawn sleigh. (The doubles were Cliff Diggins, mick Dillion, Peter Cheevers and Joe Dunne, Londoners all.)
