A home movie produced by John Scott Forsythe featuring his wife Joanna, daughter Rosemary and sons Angus and baby Richard. Filmed in and around New York City it begins with a boat journey across New York Harbour, a visit to Central Park as well as domestic scenes in their Upper East Side apartment. The family also travel into the country with friends and the final part of the films shows John with some of his male colleagues enjoying a game of golf. A boy stands at the prow of a boat travelling across New York Harbour, the city skyline can be seen is the background including the Empire State building. The boat turns towards a bridge or tunnel, lettering embossed on the boat reads ‘Central R.R. of New Jersey’. The boat continues to turn towards the bank and a smaller tunnel entrance with lettering above it reading ‘Baltimore and Ohio’. Standing on a street the boy stands beside a man looking over a large car. At a railway station the boy steps off a train walking towards camera through the steam. Back on the boat a view of the Manhattan skyline including both the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. A phantom car ride along a road travelling underneath a New York subway line. Out of the shadow of the subway station walks the boy. A man walks down a set of step away from a large ornate building, the boy walks along the pavement. The boy throws stones at seagull on grass area, a small building nearby has a sign above it that reads ‘US Army Recruiting Station’. Back at the family apartment the boy plays with a baby which is in a playpen followed by a woman sitting in a chair feeding the child from a bottle. The family sit in their living room, the girl gestating with her hands and the boy nearby wearing a cowboy outfit. On the street outside their apartment the doorman helps two women load a travelling basket into the back of a car. Back inside the apartment the baby plays in the bath with his toys, the woman takes him out and dries him. An electric trolley car travels across a bridge and along a street. A man at the front points out the window, sitting nearby a boy. The trolley car passes, the destinations board reads Manhattan, Welfare Island and Queens Plaza. From a bridge or overpass inside Central Park the woman lifts the baby from his pram. A car is parked outside the Hotel Bancroft. At a gas station outside the city an attendant speaks with a man while filling his car with petrol. Two women chat nearby, the man seen chatting with the attendant watches as he closes the bonnet of the car. From a balcony of a house in the countryside the woman and the couple from the gas station stand chatting. They go for a walk passing mound of stones and enter a wood near the house. A man carries logs to a car, the group walk along a road through a small town and come to stand on the shoreline of a lake. An old woman points into the air with his walking stick, they all look up while walking past a large white house. Carrying two suitcases a man walks out of a large house and loads them into the back of a station wagon. A woman comes out of the house with a younger woman who is wearing a pink dress and chat with the family standing by the car The man and woman kiss the young woman on the cheeks. The family and their friends walk into a garden and sit around a round wooden table chatting. A woman has a baby on her knee as she feeds it soft food with a spoon, a boy and a girl stand behind her. Another boy spades soil over a garden sieve or mesh and is assisted by two younger children. Around the table the women in the group continue chatting. Inside on a bed a woman changes a baby’s nappy or diaper watched by two older children. The baby plays on the bed happily. In a park the woman stands beside a wire bin drinking from a paper cup; in the background a crowds walk past in both directions. She pushes a pram along a path to a rocky promontory where two boys throw rocks onto the ground trying to smash them. On a rainy day the family walk along the pavement beside their apartment building, the woman pushing a pram. They come around a corner onto a path overlooking the East River. The girl sniffs a flower growing on a bush on the other side of a metal fence. They continue along the path beside the bush. Back home a baby lays on a bed. In the bathroom he smiles at the camera as the woman plays with his hair as she washes it. Outside on the apartment balcony the baby smiles contentedly from a pram. Inside the woman folds or packs clothes while he plays in a playpen nearby. On the green of a golf course two men play shots to the hole. The first man, with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, puts his ball into the hole. At the first tee in front of large house a six men shake hands and chat before the start of a game. Each of them teeing off changing to a sand trap where three of them discuss their next drive, a caddy behind them hands them their clubs. On the ground a stripped bird extends its wings, probably protecting a nest. The game continues with one man writing on a scorecard. Back on the balcony of the family apartment a number of well-dressed men and women sit around chatting over cocktails.
