Wouldn't it be possible to use some editing or special effects trick to 
blur out the defects, whether it is a visible rope or a misplaced person?
After all, couldn't the rope image have been fuzzed into the image of the
water & shore, or the "woman in blue dress" be obliterated by a patch
of greenery or rock, again blurred and unfocused, via some sort of
post-production optical wizardry? (Or for that matter, somebody could
spend some hours going over the film frame by frame with a retoucher!)

Why not do this? It can't be THAT expensive, especially when compared
with the enormous costs of the film shot!
