- Summary
- MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Sydney Suffers Big Wet. DESCRIPTION: Sunny Sydney has had more rain in the last six months than they usually get in a year. Unlike most people these two young Persian pussy cats actually enjoy getting wet - especially in the boss’s heated pool. At the weather bureau, they count the inches, and convert ‘em into feet, while Sydney-siders argue - Is it the Atom Bomb. Have the rain-makers started something they can’t stop. The first test between Australia and New Zealand was a muddy good match. SHOTLIST: Key scene. GV people run across road. MS woman runs across road. MS people under umbrellas across road.
