Summary

Pathe synopsis: From high notes to the high board - a swift and easy transition for at least one singer of popular songs. After exercising his tonsils at a recording session Peter Elliot goes to Roehampton swimming pool for diving exercises - and Peter is no "amateur"; he represented Great Britain in the 1948 Olympic Games, and won the National Springbord title in 1949, ‘50 and ‘52, before entering show business!
