| Description: | "Papas Prepare". New York. M/S of prospective fathers seated in classroom at a maternity center. Midwives are giving the men a lecture. All at once the men take off their jackets and collect baby dolls from a table. Various shots of men bathing the dolls, they fit a nappy on the dolls. We see two of the men in conversation; one says to the other "my mother-in-law says this ain't right". Various shots of men cuddling the dolls and winding them. Narrator comments "the new generation will grow up clinging to their fathers' apron-strings while engineer mothers are out building Bonnie ... bombers!" | |
