Well dressed woman being lowered into water as of 35:50 - 39:55.

I love the dubbed gurgling as he lowers her into the water.

Also, a brief glimpse of a Victorian swimming costume at 42:04

I know the scene well and her 3 other wetlook films..

This scene is poignant right now because this actress, Glynis Johns, just celebrated her 100th birthday a few days ago, and is currently the oldest living wetlook actress in the world with Eva Marie Saint in 2nd place at 99 years old.

I wonder if she received the traditional birthday telegram from The King. We no longer use use telegrams but Charles must have a cell phone to give her call, since Glynis no longer lives in England and is in an actors nursing home in California.

They replaced the Telegram service with "Telemessages" in 1982, where instead of a motorcycle messenger bringing the message to you, it was instead popped in the post for "guarenteed next day delivery". I gather even at its height in the 1930s, when 65 million telegrams a year were sent, it never actually made a profit, and by the 70s the volume was averaging just 10 million, so the decision was taken to abolish.

I also remember "That's Life" doing a feature on the replacement service, the advertising claimed "it has something special written all over it" (due to the special envelopes used) but Esther Rantzen's conclusion was "it has nothing special written all over it", when it turned out to be no more special than first class post.

Telemessages themselves for general use were withdrawn in 2003, when it was repackaged into a debt collection tool. A private company now operates what it claims is a telegram service, but it's no-longer connected to either BT or the GPO.

However Buckingham Palace sends birthday cards to anyone British who reaches 100, 105, and any year above that, and also greetings cards to anyone who reaches their 60th, 65th, and 70th wedding anniversaries, and every year after that. So hopefully she'll have received one.

The sad irony is, the monarchy does not know who it's citizens are, and how old they are, and where you live, so you will not receive a birthday message unless you have relatives that fill out an application form at least 12 months in advance.It is a myth to think that the Crown sends you card, because they don't, unless you have a relative that prompts them on your behalf.

The UK government has the records of who you are, how old you are and where you currently live, via NHS Social Security system, Inland Revenue Tax Records, UK passport and Embassy registrations, so they should send you a birthday card via notifications from these systems, but they can't be bothered to do that, and they require your relatives to make applications instead.

When somebody in your family has a birthday, do you need to be prompted by a 3rd party to send a card. Receiving a card from Charles and Camilla means nothing because they don't even know you reached 100 unless you tell them first. You might as well order a custom card yourself via an online card sending website and stick Charles and Camilla's picture on it yourself.

hmm.. 60th wedding anniversary eh. My wife and I will celebrate #42 next week....18 more years to go on on that one.
