| Description: | Master 1 - Tape 1 Re-enactment of flapper days of the 1920s (shot in the fifties). The men are dressed in striped suits and straw hats; the women have sleveless flapper outfits on. A woman plays the piano as the group (there are five of them in this shot) celebrate, throwing party materials into the air dancing the charleston. A woman has a long cigarette holder between her fingers. Everyone is happy. Looks like it was shot in someone's living room (very cheap set). At the end, a flapper drops her back into a man's waiting arms, and the entire crowd looks into the camera and smiles. Entirely untalented people. | |
