Pictorial Parade was a newsreel series produced by the National Film Unit. This trio features 'Salute to Salote,' in which the Queen of Tonga admires the territorial army recruits at Papakura military camp; 'What is Dutch for Easter?' about Dutch settlers who hide painted Easter eggs for the children of Roseneath school; and 'The Life of Opo', which shows priceless footage of Opononi's world-famous dolphin Opo, and her Marlborough Sounds' cousin, Pelorus Jack. Shots of 'gay' Opo tossing bottles and frolicking with swimmers, are set to a jaunty ditty.
