Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Wales Through. DESCRIPTION: When France kicked off, few spectators at Cardiff could have expected Wales to win. The French, who’d lost only one of their last seventeen championship matches, were dangerous all the time. In the 7th minute, a penalty, and Coslett’s kick was a beauty. Wales were in the lead! With no more score, it was a narrow-margin victory for Wales, but victory all the same. SHOTLIST: Key scene. MS men on pitch fighting over a flag. MS crowd. MS teams come out onto pitch. LS two men holding a banner run onto pitch. CU man in crowd with funny hat on. LS start of play. Various shots of play. LS crowd. Various shots of play. MS crowd. Shots of play. MS crowd.
