Beirut Scenes (1972)

Beirut, Lebanon. Colour. Lebanese entering and leaving church. People visit a statue on a tower, there is a circular path around the tower and people walk up the path to get to the top. Tourists at pavement restaurant, traffic, pedestrians, general atmosphere. C/Us of sign for Byblos Bank, Mebco Bank and RIF Bank. Pavement cafes. Girls in mini skirts. This is presumably all shot in the business district of Beirut. As pedestrians are filmed the cameraman tends to focus in on girls' bottoms! 16mm Print FILM ID:3285.06 FOR LICENSING ENQUIRIES VISIT http://www.britishpathe.com/
