Fire Eating Family (1965)

Jack Taylor and wife perform various tricks including fire eating, in the Triangle pub in Peterborough. C/U of Jack (he is wearing red harem pants) covering empty wine bottle with towel and smashing with knife. He spreads broken glass over table. L/S revealing bemused crowd of local pub-goers sat watching as Jack proceeds to jump on the table barefoot and dance on the broken glass! He then jumps down and proceeds to press his back up and down alarmingly quickly on glass. To top it all off whilst he lies face up on glass his wife (wearing American Indian style tunic) jumps on top and stamps on his chest! Nice M/S of Barman and Bar-women standing behind behind bar. Barman holds beer in hand. Various shots of Jack performing other equally dangerous tricks with fire including flame throwing which his wife also take an active part in. Some very good C/U’s of Jack fire eating. M/S of locals smiling at bar tables. M/S of Jack lying face down on table while his wife beats his back like a drum with fire stick
