Gorilla Takes A Bath (1967)

Leicestershire. At Twycross Zoo we see baby gorilla , Joe, taking a bath in a bathroom. A chimpanzee runs about the side of the bath and plays with Joe; zoo owner Molly Badham waits with a towel. Several lovely shots of Joe splashing about in ecstasy in the water; some shots are speeded up to make him look more frantic! He also drinks from the tap and tries to eat a flannel. Joe is rubbed dry by Molly - he’s very cute! Cuts exist - see separate record. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
