| Description: | Trailer: SAVE WASTE PAPER Trailer telling us to save waste paper. MS man in Morocco being pampered by lots of girls in his harem. Salesman (in bowler hat and City suit) enters with a box marked "Made in England." Opening it up, the sultan and his brood are delighted to pull out a vacuum cleaner. Various shots showing all the things that we could buy if we didn't have to buy in cardboard from abroad. Clips follow of imported foods, and shots of people recycling rail tickets, cigarette packets, and newspapers to make cardboard needed for exports. Various shots of paper goods which could be recycled such as newspapers and bus tickets. Closeup shot of a newspaper thrown carelessly onto the sidewalk, and wasted. A brief shot follows of one of the harem women vacuuming happily, when suddenly the machine vanishes, and the sultan weeps. "British Industry Urgently Needs Waste Paper" says the title. | |
