- Summary
- MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Christmas Time - Special All Colour Christmas Edition. DESCRIPTION: At this Yuletide Season, thoughts have to turn to Christmas shopping. Big city store or village market, it’s all better down under, where you can shop in brilliant sunshine and then relax on the beach. To brighten our Northern Hemisphere we turn on the lights in Glasgow, Dublin and London. The Christmas tree gifts from Scandinavia, are only the gilt on the gingerbread for the children whose main delight is Father Christmas and the gift he brings with tidings of joy. Movietone wishes everyone the best of Seasons Greetings and good Cinema viewing throughout the world. SHOTLIST: PART I. GV Mount Pleasant Post Office inland section. SIG ditto.
