| Description: | THE AMERICAN DERBY - There are none of our old familiar Derby Day scenes - and certainly Louisville is no Epsom! Louisville, Kentucky, United States of America. Various shots of the large crowds on massing on the sides of the race track. L/S as the camera pans from right to left following the race action. Numerous shots of the race underway. Intertitle reads: "Morvich" - the "Captain Cuttle" of America - wins." Good slow motion shot of "Morvich" crossing the finishing line ahead of the rest of the runners and riders. L/S of the horse and jockey surrounded by crowds of people receiving garland sand flowers. (probably the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs) | |
