| Description: | THE FIVE-TON GOLFER! Rosie the Elephant plays a round of golf. Africa Rosie the golf-playing elephant strolls around golf course holding a mallet in her trunk and knocking a golf ball along before her; she is accompanied by a crowd of white golfers (women in summer dresses & hats, men in plus-fours and starched white shirts) and a few African caddies. Palm trees around edges of course. Rosie's progress is funny to watch - some of the time she seems to be psyching herself up for the shot, swinging the mallet back and forth before whacking it against the ball. Rosie & African man who seems to be her trainer walk past near camera. Rosie on the green w/ the others standing around, one of the guys holding flag for 18th hole. MS tilt down: Rosie's trunk swinging back and forth over hole, w/ golf ball poised on the edge of hole; legs of human golfers in BG. Finally she gives it a swift whack and knocks the ball in. MCU Rosie's trunk reaching into hole, pulling out golf ball. Animals, elephants, sports, golf, wacky, weird, bizarre, stunts, colonialism | |
