Water-Ski Show (1967)

Theale near Reading, Berkshire. Various shots show performers in a water-ski show on a lake; numerous girls in colourful costumes ski along, sometimes looking somewhat ungainly on the shoulders of men in trunks. Several clowns do stunts. More girls pose in water ballet fashion; a man turns upside-down on a trapeze held by water babes. More clowning. The footage is intercut with shots of a man driving a speedboat that pulls the water-skiers. Note: on file is a letter from Water Ski Promotions Ltd about this show.
