The Girl from Jones Beach1949

Bob Randolph:
[Narrating a film of bathing beauties in a courtroom] I ask you to compare these suits with that of Miss Wilson. Yet, undoubtedly there were French school teachers included in the group on the screen. Here we are now in Atlantic City. Time: 1935. Now, these suits seem harmless enough, don't they - compared with present French style. Yet, they were banned in Rye, New York and Dover, New Jersey. It is now 1910 and the one-piece bathing suit started a minor revolution. Women were shocked. But, men took a long view of the situation. And now we come to the early days of the new century. Take a look at those costumes. Anything there to object to? Yet, even this period had its blue-noses. See those policemen coming on the scene? Well, they are coming to arrest these over-dressed young women for indecent exposure.
