This is a film from the Alan Neal collection of films of Scarborough, which show many of its most popular places from the late 1960s, as well as providing a glimpse into everyday life and visitors enjoying the attractions.  It includes the Capital Cinema, a casino and a cabaret act, and a band playing in the night clubs, Scene One and the Two B’s Club. The film begins with children playing in a play area and diners in the restaurant of the Grand Hotel.  Some young women inspect the items on sale in a shop selling pottery and other trinkets.  Women are sitting playing bingo, and people buy tickets at the box office for the Capital Cinema.  Inside the cinema the audience watches as the lights go out and the curtains open.  Customers relax in a refreshment bar.  A woman disc jockey is operating a turntable in a casino, with customers at the bar and at a roulette table.  A woman sings on a stage in a packed smoky club.  In another club a band in multi-coloured clothing plays to an audience of young people, sitting fairly motionless.  Then young people are dancing in a disco.  The outside of the Capital Cinema is shown and the sign for ‘Scene One’ above a group of shops, including Studio Pottery and another shop for Scarborough pottery.  There is the sign for the Two B’s Club in with another row of shops, advertising its cabaret.
