Cunard Liner 'Berengaria' arriving to a harbour - presumably Southampton but not sure. Famous American film star Robert Taylor walking along the deck with a man and a woman (probably publicists - SL) and another woman with windswept hair - see note below. Close up shot of Robert Taylor as he waves to the crowds on dock. 'Berengaria' nearing the dock, two tugs next to her. Robert Taylor leaving the ship through the back. Close up shot of Mr Taylor as he leaves the ship. He is interviewed by a woman the moment he walks off the gangplank - natural sound. He likes the reception, it is bigger than New York send off. He signs a few autographs - item abruptly stops there.
Taylor was probably in England for the filming of 'A Yank At Oxford' - SL.
Note: woman with windswept hair could be a dressed-down Barbara Stanwyck, who married Taylor in 1939 (they started dating in 1936), but it is unlikely since she was a pretty big star at this time and is not mentioned by commentator. However, her presence could have passed without comment if the press / studio were trying to keep the affair quiet - SL.
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.

The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
