| Description: | Same as catalog # 276600 Australian soldiers keeping themselves amused during World War II: They start a jazz band, of sorts. Soldiers, casual clothes, backs to camera, watching a small band on an improvised stage. Closer shots of the band. Soldiers with their shirts off playing silly-looking instruments, drum set that says "Troppo Band." on it. Soldiers jitterbug frantically and badly. Soldier audience. Aborigines. Man playing large horn. Natives dancing wildly. American-style jazz/big-band music dubbed in. Women and children (native) watching, they clap along with the music (relatively). Natives rush joyously toward the camera en masse, laughing and jumping about, neat shot. | |
