Director Rob Reiner took important steps to ensure his four young actors would bond with one another before filming and understand the time period and culture in which their characters lived. These steps included giving them tapes of late 1950s music and ensuring they knew the era's slang. Importantly, he also had them brought to Brownsville, Oregon, where he led them in games and exercises drawn from Viola Spolin's book "Improvisations for the Theater." One exercise involved guiding each other blindfolded through their hotel lobby. The point of these exercises was to build trust and friendship so that, onscreen, they would be comfortable with one another and their group of friends would seem real.
