Summary

NoS Summary - glamour girls picking oranges.
British Pathe synopsis: "The other day we sent a Cameraman to report on the orange position in the far West. He must have got his lens misplaced, however - " Extreme C/U of a woman’s legs. She is standing on a hill, two women in swimsuits are visible below. Camera tilts up to show more of the woman and the fields of orange trees below. L/S of three girls in bathing suits climbing over a fence towards the orchards. They gingerly disappear down the hill. "The oranges here are lovely" intertitle precedes a birds eye view of a woman climbing up a ladder. She stands on one leg to reach out for the oranges. Panning shot from high angle shows lots of bathing beauties at the top of ladders picking oranges. M/S of some of the girls at work. Low angle shot of one of the girls - looking up the skirt of her swimsuit. She holds out an orange to the cameraman. "Our cameraman did his best, but the girls would keep getting in his way - " Travelling shot from the back of an open topped truck. In the foreground is a strategically placed woman’s leg. "One place where you never "get the pip" -" High angle shot of a truck being driven through the orchard with girls sitting on the roof looking glamorous. C/U of the leg again, truck drives past a girl between two rows picking fruit. The truck then drives underneath the camera with the bathing belles sitting on top of crates of oranges and laughing. "Fruity!" exclaims the intertitle. C/U of pile of oranges. Suddenly a girl appears from amongst the oranges. She may be naked! We only see her arms and head as she smiles and rolls the oranges away from her face.
