Phew! (1928)

Full titles read: “PHEW! - All Britain basks in glorious sunshine... and wherever there was an expanse of water... there were the kiddies!“ (New title) “...Brighton?... Margate?... Yarmouth?... no... Greenwich-“on-Sea“.“ Greenwich, London. Various shots show children paddling in the River Thames at Greenwich; families sit on the bank, knitting and enjoying the sun. Most of the children have their clothes tucked into their knickers; most people are fully dressed, some old ladies in long black dresses - they must be roasting! Note: Whitaker’s Almanack says Britain was in a heat wave in July 1928, with temperatures in London reaching 91 degrees Fahrenheit. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
