| Description: | Regent's Park, London. Various shots of showgirls in Regent's Park wearing their Victorian costumes from the current musical comedy theatre show of 'Wild Violets'. First we see a group of girls in identical hats and dresses, walking along behind their teacher. The girls stop on an ornamental bridge and look at the river. CU Girls looking in water and talking. MS Girls leaning over bridge talking some go to other side. CU Girls' shoes and dressed pan up to faces. MS Girls start to walk off bridge one shouts and pulls up skirt. CU Girls' faces pan down to girl's leg. MCU Teacher walking along on her own claps hands for girls to follow. MS Girls hurrying towards her. MLS Teacher watching girls run into frame form into line behind her. Two girls in Victorian tennis outfits walk along with a girl in a golfing costume. They meet some women in flouncy dresses carrying parasols and stop to talk MS Girls in sports dresses walking towards camera meet three women stop to talk. CU Girls talking. CU Bottoms of dresses pan up to faces. CU Girl's head. CU Girl with boater. CU Girl with check cap. CU Girls one with boater one with check cap. MS Girls with bikes one adjusting. MCU Other cyclists watching. Historical fashions, period dress. CU Girl adjusting bow tie and signalling others to start. CU Girl's feet getting on cycle and other cycle passing to L/S cyclists going into distance. LS Cyclists towards camera to M/S as they go round corner. CU to LS Girls past camera. We are told that all the costumes are perfect replicas of those worn in the period and were originally designed for the show (sounds like a bit of contradiction). A group of girls in striped skirts and tight jackets ride their bicycles about the park. | |
