Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Heat Wave. DESCRIPTION: With temperatures knocking at the nineties - the water’s the place to be. In a crowded pool, it isn’t all plain sailing. Boats and bathers don’t always mix. If you want to catch the breezes, what better plan than a catamaran. It is very nice but it gives you a thirst - if you want it to go on for ever why not find yourself a fountain. How do they treat a heat wave in Florence? Ignore it, apparently. They dress up in medieval costumes and enjoy a game of calcio, first played here some six hundred years ago. SHOTLIST: LS archaeologist digging. Close up same. CU archaeologist discoveries. LS people playing cricket. Close up men watching. CU man drinks from bottle. CU boy drinks from bottle. CU girl drinks from bottle. MS small girl drinking from bottle. Close up of same again.
