Entertaining trio of shorts from Bruce Brown
SURFIN' SHORTS is a entertaining collection of three short films featuring the terrific cinematography of Bruce Brown: Hanging With Bruce, The Wet Set and America's Newest Sport.
The first is a TV interview with Brown and includes footage shot for, but deleted from his classic feature ENDLESS SUMMER. The second is a promo film for Hobie sports goods and the last is a segment on skateboarding.
Brown narrates as well and his laid back style combined with his knowledge of surfing makes for an enjoyable trip back to the 60s (the 1960 date here is incorrect as we see footage of one of Japan's buildings for the 1964 Olympics).
