| Description: | "The world's greatest leaner". Pisa, Italy. Various shots of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and surrounding buildings. We see the view from the top of the Campanile as two girls wander about. A man looks at special machinery inside the tower to check on the degree of leaning. Men ring the bells on the top of the tower. Commentator tells us that the position of the tower has become so serious that the playing of the bells may be stopped because the vibration would be dangerous. | |
