	Description:	EVE IN THE SWIM Comic story on changing swimsuit fashions. Wonderful film about the change in size of women's swimsuits United Kingdom MLS model wearing jacket over swimsuit, carrying a fox terrier, walks up steps and through French doors toward camera. She sets down the terrier. A German shepherd runs in after them. Model removes cover-up to reveal attractive one-piece suit with sort of checkerboard design. MS group of models pose wearing old-fashioned "bathing costumes", with cards around their neck showing the year of each design (1880- -1900); of course all of these suits cover much more of the body than do the modern ones. Models turn to show back view. Woman fades in on left side of screen, against dark BG. She wears dark swimsuit which goes down to mid-thigh like bike shorts. Same woman appears in center, wearing a skimpier dark swimsuit - "cut low at the top and high at the bottom", to quote Slim Harpo. The same model again fades in at rt., wearing a white swimsuit which doesn't look much different from the center one. MCU 4 women pose together; 3 in modern swimsuits and one dressed as old lady in Victorian clothing, holding a sign: "Mrs. Grundy". MLS model posing on a stage, holding open striped beach cover-up. She's wearing "the new wide knickers - the last word" in fashion. Looks like matching tank top and very slightlly flared shorts. She takes off the striped robe and poses, holding it out to side. A boy in uniform comes and takes it from her. MLS cameraman operating hand-cranked machine. The page boy holding the robe comes backing up toward camera. MS the bathing beauty posing. CU boy's face wide eyed and open-mouthed. He winks and grins. MS model with back to camera, holding up the hem of her shorts in a sexy pose. She slowly turns toward camera. MLS cameraman steps out from behind his tripod and pushes the boy out of the way, then resumes filming. MS model posing again. MS model changes the straps to make a halter top; turns to show open back. MS another model wearing a 2 piece suit of contrasting colors, again it just looks like shorts and top. MS toddler in a very skimpy swimsuit, the top is only straps down to almost waist level, really just there to hold the bottom on. Posing on a cushion in front of curtain, with shovel and bucket as props. She bounces up and down and grins. Cartoon of guy in a "devil-fish costume"- -weird sort of diamond shaped thing with a long tail. Tail reaches up and scratches back of head.
