[Family Christmas with the Dawson Family]
1963 , Norwich (Norfolk)
Cat no. 9024
The Dawson family from Norwich conjure up a great Christmas with games and trickery to entertain the children in this home movie
An amateur illusionist steals the show in this home movie showing the Dawson family at home at Christmas time. Great period detail shows a tree complete with colourful decorations, the centrepiece of any home at Christmas. A little boy plays with his brand new gift - a 'Mouse Trap Game'. It's Mum's job to hand out the gifts and bring out the trifle, and the home movie maker indulges in some trick photography, making a child "disappear" as if by magic behind a sheet. Ends with brief shots of a child with dog, a children's football match, and views of the town/city skyline.
