Cuts from newsreel 47/79 - Daily Express Film Ball.
M/S two men and a woman, chatting and posing for the camera - probably actors / film stars but not recognised by this cataloguer. Shot of actress Hazel Court, pan right to two unidentified women - one could be Judy Campbell? Man signs autographs - Dermott Walsh?
Film star Margaret Lockwood poses on a balcony in a white, one-shouldered ball gown. Michael Wilding poses with glamorous blonde musical star Dolores Gray. Trio sitting at a balcony - French film star Jean Pierre Aumont with Edana Romney and film star Maria Montez. Actress Googie Withers chats to Griffith Jones and her husband John McCallum.
Shaky, low angle shots of the Crazy Gang performing stage. A model in a fashion show walks across the dance floor wearing a suit with chequered skirt and wide-brimmed hat. Two men and a woman pose together, probably film critics Leonard Mosley, Iris Russell and Paul Holt (the latter sneers at the camera). Michael Denvin and Dermot Walsh chat to Hazel Court, Judy Campbell and the third woman in their party (old record says it's Sally Gray, but I don't think it is).
Guests at the ball watch the entertainment, looking rather bored and serious, then applaud.

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.

"Googie Withers chats to Griffith Jones and her husband John McCallum" - it's just Googie and Griffith, no sign of John McCallum.
