Girl Thatcher (1962)

Bridford, Devon. M/S of redhead Primrose Barkwill checking her makeup in the wing mirror of a car. She applies lipstick and fluffs up her hair. She places her lipstick on her handbag and puts on some gloves. She then goes over to a pile of reeds and gets to work preparing the reeds for thatching. Primrose has given up her secretarial job to follow in the family footsteps - she is a glamorous girl thatcher! Lovely footage of Primrose and her father working on a thatched roof. They clamber up and down ladders and tear old thatch off the roof. Father throws bundles up to Primrose (vertigo!) Primrose is also a soprano in the Devon Amateur Operatic Society - multitalented! Ends with a shot of a completed thatched roof. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
