How to Drown

Short Film (Full Length) – 1951

A short treatise on the art of drowning which, if studied carefully, will explain exactly how to go about this operation.
– The title card to the film
Just a happy family scene: father making a job of the lunch, mother engrossed in ‘purple passion’ ... and two small boys jumping into the pool that might contain hidden snags; here’s little daughter aged five, floating in a motor tube, which looks as though it’s about to float out into the mainstream ... and the baby doing a little exploring on her own.
– From the narration
