George Baker In The Floral Dance (1932)

Full story title reads: And now for a rollicking song from George Baker the wellknown Baritone of Radio, Gramophone and Concert renown in The Floral M, S of George Baker at the piano. He plays along as he sings The Floral Various views of him at the piano. He is in a set representing a drawing room. There are a few flowers on display. Intercut with George is a shot of a marching band leading a parade (possibly a May Day parade). Girls dressed in white dance along. Another dancing group is seen this time adults. The men wear top hat and tails, the ladies tea dresses and cloche hats. They walk along a pathway and the girls do a twirl. High angle shots of couples and children dancing during their parades. This may possibly be the Floral Dance of the title which according to the song is a Cornish tradition. Perhaps the dancing sections were filmed in Cornwall. I like Terry Wogan s version better.
