Montgomery experimented with film later in her career, recording this silent footage on the Giants' opening day at Candlestick Park, April 12, 1960, when the Giants beat the Cardinals 3-1. It features footage of Montgomery and her friends arriving at the park, spectators in the stands, the opening ceremony, 9th inning play, and then spectators exiting to the parking lot. Note that both Richard Nixon and San Francisco Mayor George Christopher are shown, with Nixon signing autographs. Montgomery created her own titles; the title board is part of the collection at History San Jose.
