Piccadilly, London.

Absolutely wonderful footage of home made liqueur chocolates being made - yum. Pathe Pictorial takes us through all the various steps involved. They are being made for a "famous Piccadilly store" - which is not named (could be Fortnum and Mason - SL).

Sugar syrup is made then liqueur added. Various shots of moulds being made in trays of warm starch. The liqueur mixture is dripped into the moulds then the top is covered over with the starch. The delicate shells of liqueur are taken out of the moulds when the outside has solidified slightly. (Always wondered how they did that!)

Cherries soaked in brandy are taken from a big barrel then covered with gooey pink fondant cream - mm! Melted chocolate is seen in a big vat - it pours out of the bottom. Peppermint creams are covered in chocolate. The liqueur shells seen earlier are covered with chocolate. "There are women up to their wrists in it" says the narrator over a shot of a woman dipping chocolates in melted chocolate - her hand is absolutely covered in chocolate - not very hygienic!

Various shots of the chocolates being wrapped by hand and arranged in boxes. C/U of a box of very cute foil covered chocolates with the name of the liqueur contained within. Narrator suggests that this is the last place where hand made chocolates are made but I'm not so sure about that. He says that "mass-production" is an ugly word here and talks of the old world charm of chocolates that are made one at a time.

Various shots of chocolates on display in the shop then C/U of woman popping a choc into her mouth. "That's probably what you've been wanting to do since we started this story" says the narrator - too right!

Cuts exist - see other record.

BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.

Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.

British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website.
