Billy Merson and Hermione Baddeley walk through a park with some children. Billy picks one of the younger children up and kisses and cuddles it. The children stand with their mouths open and Billy puts sweets in their mouths. A little girl stands alone crying. Hermione feeds the children too. Billy plays "Peep-bo!" with a baby in a cot. Intertitle reads: "But supposing this was a permanent family". Shot of Billy with lots of children not looking too happy! He pushes along a pram with five small children inside. We then see Hermione pushing the pram with Billy in it! He is drinking from a baby's bottle and has a toy rabbit at the opposite end of the pram. Hermione hits him with the rabbit and he cries like a baby.
Was an Eve's Film Review item - issue number unknown.
Safety print exists - show print. Probably to be found in the "Stars as They Are" roll.
Note: the shot of Billy pushing the pram full of children is quite funny. Could be used to illustrate fatherhood. Hermione pushing Billy in the pram is good too!
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.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
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.
