Fashion Forecasts For Adam - By Mr Leslie Henson! (1928)

THIS DIGIBETA VERSION HAS BEEN MADE FROM THE PRINT - VERSION ON TAPE *PM0868* WILL PROBABLY BE BETTER QUALITY AS TAKEN FROM THE NEGATIVE. Mr Leslie Henson in his dressing room puts on clothes at top speed. A camera trick has made it seem as though the clothes magically appear on his body (he has been filmed taking them off then the film has been reversed). A butler assists. C/U of Leslie Henson looking dapper in a white bowler hat, stripy bow-tie and plaid suit - a suitable outfit for the horse racing. Jokey titles imitate the style of fashion reporting e.g. “ The coat opens easily, thus allowing rapid access to pockets for use of bookmakers“. C/U of Leslie lifting his coat and someone putting their hand in his pocket and pulling out money (notes). C/U of trouser strap under boots. A high necked Mackintosh is modelled - especially suitable for “spaghetti and asparagus parties“ as it saves hosing down after meals. Shot of Leslie eating with appalling table manners. Leslie pretends to play tennis
