| Description: | RONALD FRANKAU Ronald Frankau performs song 'Take Me Where Love is Brutal' - quirky song about love in jungle, sounds like poem spoken to music. London, plus library footage from various exotic locations. Various shots of gravel voiced singer, Ronald Frankau, standing next to grand piano (played by a man referred to only as Monty - probably Monty / Monte Crick - SL). Frankau sings song - 'Take Me Somewhere Love is Brutal'. The song is more like rapidly spoken poem to music. Song is about love in jungle in Africa, piano accompaniment sounds like drumming. Frankau does comical sort of dance - probably meant to invoke traditional danced in Africa. Performance is interspersed with archive shots of jungles, wild animals and primitive tribes. Quirky. | |
