| Description: | Holiday crowds in england visit famous warship "queen elizabeth"; shortly after world war one. Tracking shot circling round the big ship with crowds of people swarming all over deck. Past 2 small tourist cruise boats up next to the ship; they bring people to and from the queen elizabeth. Ds slightly raised - sailors entertain the holiday crowds - sailors dancing w/ each other on deck; as a crowd watches; standing around them in a circle. Oh my - this is rather homoerotic though some few sailors dance w/ women from the crowd. Some of the sailor couples are spinning round & round! some seem quite accomplished; which makes one figure they must be doing this for fun during sea voyages. Festive. Entertainment. | |
