Summary
Pathe synopsis: A brass-bonnetted car pulls up outside a house in Mayfair, London, and disgorges a bevy of 1920s’ "flappers", all beads, bandeaux and bangles. A flashback? No - it’s a twenties party thrown by author Beverley Nichols to recapture the spirit of the era. "The Bright Young Things", in modern idiom, really live it up.
