Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Out and About. DESCRIPTION: Yes, we all went out, all of us, out into the fresh air - the open road, the beckoning highway and the scent of a thousand exhausts. Some lucky people spent Whitsun on the water, whooping it up on Windermere. And here is the new water-bus service from rural Paddington to the London Zoo, on the Regent’s Canal. At the Zoo, the Chimps had a party and our cameraman watched them. SHOTLIST: Traffic jam scene (key). MS cars move bumper to bumper. Tracking same. TS same. MS same. Tracking in jam. BS jam.
