Pictorial Parade No. 164 - A Home for Rare Birds/NZ Cricket Team in India/Miss World in NZ

Short Film (Full Length) – 1965

This episode of Pictorial Parade, a long-running National Film Unit newsreel series, presents three events: at Mt Bruce, a native bird reserve is opened, the New Zealand Cricket Team’s tour of India is lost 1-0, and Miss World, Ann Sidney (UK), leads the way in fashion at the 1965 Wool Award and Fashion Parade in Lower Hutt. Watch for takahē feeding from the hand, a disconsolate kiwi being held by the Minster of Internal Affairs, Miss Hutt Valley Wool Princess finalists sashaying in the latest fashions, and the New Zealand cricket team sightseeing in India.

The shorn sheep may shiver, but for the young sophisticate there’s the new look in winter warmth.
– From the film's narration
