Summary

NoS Summary - girls’ vital statistics are measured as they pose in bikinis.
British Pathe synopsis: "Somehow, Adam never tires of the search for duplicates of the immortal Venus." M/S of judges in white coats inspecting a row of bathing beauties. Girls stand in the open air in what looks like underwear. C/U of woman putting a tape measure around a girl’s hips. She then measures her waist, her bust and her neck. "They may not all be like Venus, but they certainly are in good shape for any competition." M/S of six girls in white bikinis (shorts and bra tops) Two male judges walk behind them and look at their backs. There are girls in dark one piece swimsuits flanking the white bikini girls. "How do you like the winner - just nineteen..." M/S of a girl’s feet and legs as she stands on a podium. She turns and we get a nice view of her bottom. Camera tilts up as she turns. There are palm trees in the background.
