‘Europe’s only woman (seashell) importer’ British Pathé film
Millicent Rich, Sea Shells, 1956 British Pathé film
Filmed in the Conran showroom 1956
Pathé Pictorials were shown during the interval between the A and B movie when you went to the ‘pictures’ in the 50s and 60s. They were also shown at News Theatres where you could see shorts while waiting for a train. I was asked to star in this for the reason it says in the movie: ‘Europe’s only woman (seashell) importer’! The film says it was shot in our ‘Balham flat’ Actually it was the Conran Showroom. I was 39.
