The Parade Is On! (1932)

THIS DIGIBETA VERSION HAS BEEN MADE FROM THE PRINT - VERSION ON TAPE *PM0954* WILL PROBABLY BE BETTER QUALITY AS TAKEN FROM THE NEGATIVE. Filmed at the Cafe de Paris, London. “Beautiful gowns - dreamy music and stately mannequins, gliding into the picture - the big London Dress Parades are on - “ Woman in a glamorous frock walks down the stairs of the club onto the dance floor then poses against a large black disc. The disc revolves so that the audience can see the frock. As it turns, another model is revealed behind. Two particularly striking “ Hartnell“ models - “ We see the band play as the floor revolves displaying other outfits. The girls seem to move their feet to propel the disc around. They then walk back up the stairs. Various outfits are shown. L/S of the crowd in a balcony area, some watch the show, others don’t. This gives us a good view of the ceiling, lighting and general decor of the club. More gorgeous outfits are displayed including a nice fur trimmed satin dress and cape.
