Mysteries of the Green Mountain
One hundred and fifty years of exploration with the Royal Geographical Society, 1830-1980
The largest expedition ever mounted by the Royal Geographical Society explored the weird and exotic jungles that clothe the slopes of Mount Mulu, the newest national park in Sarawak, Borneo. To unravel the mysteries of those jungles, experts from many nations wedded the techniques of science to the skills of those who live in the forest-stunning lizards by blowpipe dart, stalking termites, trapping moths, even weighing the leaves on the ground.

Tan is back in the States, as aimost-forgotten names from the 20s and 30s return to the boards. This film celebrates the come-back of three black American dancers, who learnt their skills on Harlem
Sreet corners and in vaudeville.
We see early film of them, along with such legendary tappers as BILL 'BOJANGLES' ROBINSON and BUCK AND BUBBLES. These are the true 'hoofers', whose jazz style of tap was largely ignored by Hollywood's musicals-but whose skill is being applauded once again. Introduced by JOHN DRUMMOND Director GEORGE T. NIERENSERG A GTN production
