Amateur home movie. Seaside holiday in Europe 1960's A man walks onto a beach carrying a towel. He strips off his suit and tie and once in his shorts he goes for a swim in the sea. Next scene shows the same man, now fully dressed again, taking photos on the beach. People go out into a harbour in a small boat with outboard motor and start water-skiing. Yachts filmed from another boat as they sail beside what looks like a Mediterranean coastline? Family chatting (one lad asleep in the sun) in a small motorised boat. Lots of rather jumpy and often dark footage follows of someone water-skiing behind the boat. People on sun loungers on a hotel sundeck beside a swimming pool, possibly Italian Riviera? Panning view to people swimming in the pool and the sea view beyond. A waiter collects cups on a tray from the sun lounger tables. Group of people enjoying the sun on a yacht. Another yacht with family on a sailing trip. View from a balcony down to a small sheltered harbour, panning around to some gardens and a grand outdoor café. A diving platform and raft for swimmers in the bay. People enjoy the seaside lido, others lounge on the grass in the sun. Alfresco café in the background. Woman in a deck chair reading a newspaper. Girl jumps off the diving platform. Other young girls sunbathe in deck chairs. Waterskiing. Children walk along a log, trying to balance, before slipping into the pool. Almost silhouette type shots. View of the harbour with yachts and people swimming. Low rise hotel accommodation with cars parked in front. A person walks toward the camera. More novice waterskiing action, while people watch from a small pier. Young children playing on a UK beach – footage is very dark.
