| Description: | Blunderbus pageant in France. France. Various shots of a traditional ceremony and procession that involves men in old-fashioned army uniforms carrying a religious (?) statue along the street of a coastal town (?), and firing blunderbusses (a type of gun) at the ground. The commentator attempts to explain but is interrupted each time by the sound of the gunfire. He never does tell us - perhaps Pathe didn't know? | |
