- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: Fred Darrington has been coming to Weymouth since 1927 and settling down to work every weekend on a few square yards of rented beach. It’s almost a world apart, this little enclosure where Fred spends many patient hours coaxing sand into masterpieces like the famous Michaelangelo work we see him doing. Beautiful they are, and made only with sand and water.
