Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Summer Scene - Surf and Snow. DESCRIPTION: One way of enjoying the sun and sea is surf-riding at Biarritz, where the sport has become extremely popular this Summer, - undoubtedly one of the finest Europe has seen for many years. All you need is a surf-board and a fine sense of balance to keep above water. In contrast, Winter sports enthusiasts flock to the mountain resorts in Australia to enjoy a different kind of sport - skiing. For the experts there’s the giant slalom with the Swiss national team visiting Australia for the first time. SHOTLIST: Key scene. LS people surfing. MLS same. MS same (2 shots). MCU people watching.
