Description |
The film opens with scenes from a zoo. A zoo keeper feeds the giraffes and then we see polar bears that appear to have been trained to 'beg' for food, which is thrown to them by visitors. A zoo keeper walks chimpanzees round the zoo on leads. There are then scenes from Lake Como. Women wash their clothes in the lake and we see moving scenery filmed from a boat. We also see a cemetery, where people tend to a grave, A title tells us that the next part of the film is 'scenes from the Tyrol'. We see a parade with marching bands and people in uniform and army cadets. There are also street scenes and views of a waterfall. |
