| Description: | Scopitone of Procol Harum performing "Whiter Shade of Pale." TLS Procol Harum, wearing late 1960s swinging hipster clothing, running through field, toward camera. MS bassist David Knights walking directly into camera (old Hitchcock film trick). Moody MCU/MSs Procol posing in front of cathedral, singer Gary Brooker singing in hard focus. C/As cocked angles of church. Nice panning TLS bustling Trafalgar Square, water fountain, Nelson column. TLS Eros statue in Piccadilly Circus, tilt down to crowd on street corner, double decker busses & traffic passing in FG. MS Gary Brooker standing in crowded Piccadilly Circus. Panning TLS large group of youth sitting in Piccadilly Circus, Procol Harum standing behind them. MS Brooker reclining in park, foot in cam, rest of band standing in BG. Panning MS David Knights crossing street with woman who bears a striking resemblance to Cher, but I don't want to go so far as to say that it is without a shadow of a doubt her, though she has the look, nose, and body of Cher, and makes an effort to hide her identity by covering her face with her long black hair-- you be the judge. Shaky traveling shot of young woman's bottom as she slinks along street in pink mini-skirt. TLS two London bobbies talking on street corner. More shots of Brooker singing, band standing behind him. Intentionally wobbly TLS Nelson column. Slow motion TLS Procol running through field, toward cam. | |
