Overview
This entertaining colour film records a Wainwright family get-together, with drinking and dancing, and dominoes for the less active. This social occasion sees people dancing with as much enthusiasm as a suburban front room filled with people will allow - with one young family member providing a spirited impersonation of Mick Jagger - and there is plenty of food and drink to keep energy levels up.
