Summary
Pathe synopsis: Pathe Pictorial’s "magic carpet" takes you, today, from London’s drizzle across the Arctic ice to California’s sunshine - to Hollywood. Sunset Boulevard, the Miracle Mile, we see streets studded with film stars’ names and Grauman’s Chinese theatre where their hand-prints and signatures are preserved in the sidewalk cement. From the giant freeways, with clover-leaf cross-over, that make our M1 look like a country lane, we tour Beverly Hills, the film stars’ own ritzy suburb, and on to Marineland, the West Coast’s five-million-dollar circus of the sea. From Marineland to the studios to see a storm at sea re-enacted in the biggest film stage in existence. We are behind the the scenes in a thrilling sequence from the forthcoming epic "The Great Race" - stranded with Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood and Jack Lemmon with two veteran cars on an ice-floe in a wild, wild sea. We see the cowboy streets on outdoor film site and on, with a cow-catching loco to Knott’s Berry Farm to see the Wild West of the last century to watch gold prospectors, sheriffs, Indian chiefs in action and to re-enact the story of yet another desperado who - went west.
