This entirely frivolous item from Topical Budget shows a line of
bathing-costumed 'beauties' parading along the edge of an outdoor pool.
A wider shot of the pool show us slides into the water with a throng of mixed
bathers playing below. A diver jumps off a high board into another pool on the
other side of the Lido, and the film finishes on a close shot of three young
women in the sea, laughing for the camera.
Aside from offering a no-doubt welcome free plug for the summer revue
'Brighter Blackpool' (whose cast provide the opening parade), this simple item
shows us very little except contemporary swimwear fashions and the big art deco
pool on Blackpool Pleasure Beach. All the same, it is extremely evocative of the
age, and quintessentally 'Twenties'.
