The Mode And The Maid (1930)

“Filmed at Thames Riviera“ Low angle shot of a dozen chorus girls standing on a slope in swimsuits. A young boy in a sort of bellboy outfit looks at the girls’ legs and scratches his head in puzzlement. He walks along the line of girls, occasionally squeezing one of their ankles. M/S of the girls posing for the camera, walking along showing off their swimwear. They walk with hands on hips. The swimsuits all look more or less the same - little shorts and a vest top with a belt around the middle. L/S of the girls standing with their hands on their knees leaning forwards by an ornamental pond. The girls stand in a line with their hands on the waist of the girl in front. We see them reflected in the pond as they do a high kick routine. The girls do more high kicks, instructed by their choreographer. C/U from a low angle of their legs. More high kicks. Cheesecake stuff. Was an item in Eve’s Film Review issue number 479. Note: flash-frame intertitles. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRIT
