The Insane Story Behind The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's Hilarious Pool Scene
To be clear, any scene with Brosnahan and Borstein is gold, but whoever came up with the idea to have Midge teach Susie how to swim—and Susie losing her mind while doing it—deserves every award. But ironically, making the scene was anything but hilarious. Borstein even calls it "the most awful, challenging day of all time."But first, let's recap: In the the fifth episode, titled "It's Comedy or Cabbage," Susie and Midge are lying out at the Fontainebleu's pool.
Midge says Susie should just get in the pool, but Susie admits she doesn't know how to swim because her mother never taught her. Ever-so-positive Midge says there's no time like the present because swimming is fun—and it makes your tush tight. Susie could care less. "I like a nice, loose tush," she counters.Midge's reply: Now that they're on tour, what if their plane goes down in the ocean? Then Susie willto learn how to swim.
Borstein says her heatstroke got so bad she was throwing up for two hours. "It was just really nuts," she says. "But I’m told the scene is really funny.""Miami was a little cursed," Brosnahan says, with a laugh. "It was just so hot. Heat records were being broken while we were there, and Alex was just melting in her leather jacket, wool pants, and boots by the pool. We had a very limited time to get a lot done, and the weather was not on our side.
Brosnahan says that while she was trying to keep cool between takes, paparazzi were lurking nearby to snap photos. "There are some really hilarious and awful photos in various states of heatstroke, where I’m fanning myself and look like I’m about to keel over," she says. "There’s one funny one where I’m making a weird face while wearing a giant hat in a cape dress and fanning myself intensely.
It wasn't just Brosnahan and Borstein who had to contend with the sky-high temps. The crew was also dealing with sunstroke, according to Borstein. "So many people went down out there. Florida’s rough, man," she says. "I guess people retire there because they just stay indoors in their air-conditioned retirement home."Now that it's been about six months since the scene was filmed, Borstein hopes she'll be able to watch it eventually.
