| Description: | "To few of us is given the chance of making our dreams come true, but Mr Ignatz Oechner (Oechsner) of New York, who dreamed of a lovely castle, has built this with his own hands" C/U of Mr Ignatz who stands in front of a pile of gravel and speaks to camera - no integral sound on this version. Panning shot of the grand castle he has built which stands in large grounds featuring a lake and a fountain. It is a kind of "folly" with beautiful gardens and unusual features such as large glass globes on pedestals - C/U of one of the globes which resembles a fortune teller's crystal ball. "Fourteen years ago, Mr Oechsner found this island and started his great task of showing what a man can do with grit and determination - and a beautiful home he has made of it." Moving shot of the castle - presumably taken from a boat on the lake. Boat passes by some ducks then under an archway. (CAMBRIA CASTLE, Oechsner Castle) | |
