Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Guy Fawkes Day. DESCRIPTION: The war having blacked out November for fifth doesn’t stop the Movietone evacuees having their fun. SHOTLIST: The three ‘Movietone’ boys who have been evacuated are treated to a firework party indoors but they see the fireworks before they are meant to and the result is rather disastrous to the table. Also some shots of four ‘guys’ one resembles Hitler, another Goebbels, yet another Himmler and the other Goering. Library scenes of last years festivities. Good shots of fireworks bursting in the sky.
