- Light music composed and / or heard frequently in the 1950s, and beyond: 1. Leroy Anderson: “Sandpaper Ballet” (1954). 2. Anon: “Hungarian Dance” (Traditional).
Yes, the film footage is the actress Elizabeth Allan "Shopping at Harrods" 1955 (available to watch on 'You tube'. Great times, wonderful memories, I was nine years old and remember my teachers dressing just like this !
Thank you! Do you know by any chance who the actor is who plays the hapless man trying to make tea? I thought it might be William Hartnell, possibly with hair dyed black.
Leroy Anderson it had to be, not familiar with the second number although I can smell the unmistakeable aroma of warm valves in my Grandma's sitting room...Nice footage - is she shopping at Harrods?
Yes, a kind of shopping/product-type advertisement film. The year was 1955 and the new-fangled tea bags and plastic kitchenware were starting to arrive ... The doorman at Harrods was very impressive - you don't get that now! 😃😃
