I love this Movietone clip about a 1940s beauty contest. Where are all those lovely ladies now?! The National Bathing Beauty Contest at Morecambe had Dr Joad and George Formby as the judges. The winner was June Rivers of Manchester. KS Beauties walk into camera. Several shots of bathing beauties parading round swimming pool. Shots of judges George Formby and Professor Joad behind them can be seen Mrs Formby. Various angle shots of contestants. The winner - June Rivers of Manchester - being presented with prize by George Formby. Formby stands between first and second girl winners then his wife beckons him away. Joad says a few words about beauty, the winner standing beside him.
