| Description: | NOTE: ON PREVIEW CASSETTE #98030 CU hand painted title, then "Good Morning Everybody. I'm So Happy!" little girl wakes up, kisses her doll, her mother, her sister, and they are served breakfast in bed. Little girl, smiling puts on socks, then we see them with adult eating in dining room. Little girl eats in baby chair. 02:14:40 older girl towing sled full of younger kids in snow. Snowball fights, nice look with cars passing behind (this looks like Chicago residential neighborhood)" 02:15:15 "Future Prize Fighters" says the title, then two young girls clown and play box for the camera. Speeding up of film is comic. Ice skating and walking with adult down Chicago street, double decker bus passing behind. Man poses with his daughters. Mother in flapper hat walks with girls, then kisses them. Little girls walk proudly with their dolls in toy baby carriages. Good shots as they clown for camera, with balloons. Young girl does a pretty believable Charleston, then more scenes of well-dressed kids playing on sidewalk. 02:18:25 cute shots of girls walking down street, and with adults. 02:20:35 MS little girl inside smiling and mugging for the camera, sitting in lap of woman in Victorian style dress. 02:21:43 classic ôwriting to Daddyö shot, with little girl writing at desk on which there sits a picture of a distinguished older man (perhaps writing to grandfather). CU card with signature: ôFlora Louise Altman.ö CU photo of schoolchildren, CU man, then title: ôGood Night Mama and Daddy/God Bless Everybody and Make Us Good Girls.ö Shots continue with little girl and others on beach, clowning with rather dissheveled Dad, pulling his tie, mussing his hair. More family shots, views of substantial mansion/house. | |
